Hi

Thanks for posting your query.

There are many conditions which can cause chronic persisting cough.

To name some :

1. Chronic infection like Tuberculosis.
2. Chronic sinusitis.
3. Allergy
4. Acid reflux disease.
5. Lung problems like Interstial lung disease.

You need to get thorough evaluation for all these conditions to know exactly what is it that is causing the Cough.

In that regard I advise you the following tests.

Complete Hemogram, Monteaux test, CT chest and Para nasal sinus and Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Kindly revert back with reports.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.

Regards.
