Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your problem and situation.
Yes, it can be due to allergic bronchitis.
You are still having symptoms inspire of treatment, this suggest need for pulmonologist consultation and proper diagnosis.
So get done
1. Chest x ray
2. PFT (pulmonary function test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
PFT is needed to diagnose bronchitis.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators to cure cough.
Along with this you may need antihistamines and antiallergic drugs too.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done diagnosis first and start appropriate treatment. Don't worry much, you will be alright.
