Brief Answer:
Take Budesonide inhaler twice

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking in HCM

I can understand your concern

As you explain the history it seems like an allergy situation.

For improving the cough you can take inhalers with steroids like Budesonide twice for one month.

But it would be better to consult your doctor to do some tests for exploring alergies like:

Prick test
Pneumoalergens
Specific IgE
Spirometry test
Chest X ray

After having the results you will be advised for further treatment or follow up (if needed) or you can attach me the results and we will discuss again

Take care
