What Causes Continuous Cough?

I am 22 years - My absolute eosinophil count is 0.49 and eosinophils count under Differrential & leukocyte is 7.2 - E.S.R is 20 (Westergren) - Hemoglobin is 11.20 - Sometime I have cough for about 1/2 to 1 hr and then no cough at all whole of the day. I may not have cough at all for 3-4 days at stretch. Otherwise I am enjoying good health. Is there any cause of concern. Plz advice the treatment, do's & don'ts.

ESR is non specific and can be raised because of inflammation as well

If cough more than three week than sputum examination and x ray better to be done

One tsp turmeric powder with milk taken daily

If needed for dry cough (not improvement by antihistaminic syrup) than dextromethorphan like cough suppresent can be prescribed
