Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. The first thing that I would suggest is some anti-allergic cough syrup like Benadryl or cetirizine. I would also insist on steam inhalation. Getting a blood allergy profile done to identify the probable contributors should be helpful.
