HI
Allergic cough would be likely such cough does not need any medication unless this is severe, and in such condition dextromethorphan and Chlorpheniramine maleate, if this treatment fails to respond then investigation may required, take care.(Comment:- Cough symptom of more than couple of weeks need to be investigated for common respiratory diseases )

Thank you for trusting us. As per your symptoms this is a case of some long lasting lung problem. Now the case need some tests to done to get the exact cause of your problem. Visit your doctor and get blood tests, chest Xray and sputum culture done. I hope with treatment after tests your will get cured.
