Brief Answer:
Possibility of allergic etiology is more.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, pulmonologist consultation is asked because of possibility of allergic etiology.
In my opinion you will mostly need allergy testing to find out causative allergen.
You may need anti allergic (montelukast) along with other drugs.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
