Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of allergic cough is more in your case.
Answer to your 1st question.
For relief in cough, I think you should start combination of anti histamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast).
Answer to your 2nd question.
Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid oily and fatty food. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated. Do steam inhalation and warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
Answer to your 3rd question.
To increase lung capacity and condition, you should do regular deep breathing exercises, yoga, pranayam etc. Consult physiotherapist for chest physiotherapy and incentive spirometry. All these will improve lung functions and condition.
