General Surgeon,  's  Response
Thanks for the question,
According to your clinical history your problem allergic reaction to dust.
Your airway is hyper responsive to airborne dust and it is manifesting as cough.
The best possible thing you could do is avoid the allergen,that means stay away from dust.you can use a mask,close all the doors and avoid contact with dust.
If your problem still persist you can go for medical management,
Take any antihistamine tablet once daily dose.
I will suggest LEVOCETRIZINE 5mg tablet one tablet per day.
Most probably you have nothing to worry.
Wishing you all the best.
