Suggest Treatment For Persistently Recurrent Cough

I have had a cough for the past month and a half. I have been on Augmentin as well as a Zpak and Mucinex and Delsym. Now I am taking tessalon perles. It seems to come and go - usually worse in the evenings. I have not had a chest x-ray - but there is nothing being coughed up and I have been told m;y lungs were clear. What can be causing the coughing?
