Allergic condition or gastro esophageal reflux can be the cause.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to allergic cause or due to gastroesophageal reflux.
Have you done spirometry? By doing this obstructive or reversible lung condition can be ruled out.
For my patients with condition like your's I would recommend taking proton pump inhibitors like rabeprazole and combination of antihistamine like levocetirizine and mast cell stabilizers like monteleukast for long term.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if any thing not clear.
Thanks.

Hello Doctor:
In my own mind I think there is LUNG INFECTION perhaps taking Antibiotics for 5 to 7 days could be the answer.
Please advise with your views.

Antibiotics will be helpful in case of infection. If there is any signs of bacterial infection like yellowish phlegm or fever or increased neutrophils in blood routine then antibiotics can be taken.
You can go for a blood routine test to rule out infection. You can get back to me whenever needed. I am happy to help you.
