What Causes Persistent Cough?
i have a persistent cough that doesn t allow me to talk without coughing. the cough is dry. my chest tickles. smells and scents trigger an uncontrolled coughing fit. I ve been allergy tested and have no known allergies. I ve been to the ENT specialist and the gastro doctor resulting in no remedy. All the prescriptions for acid reflux and allergy/sinus have not worked either alone or coupled with other medications. i am not an ASTHMA. This has been a persistent cough for at least 8 years. what are your thoughts? please respond to YYYY@YYYY

Frequent/ continuous cough cold may be because of many reasons like:
1. Any ent problem like Deviated nasal septum/ Polyp/ Sinusitis
2. Low immunity
3. Allergic condition
Many times persistent cough is due to Psychological stress and also we have to rule out any cardiac problem
get following tests done and review with reports
Complete blood count
ECG Baseline
