Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Persistent coughing is most commonly related to : (1)post nasal drip - this is hte most common cause
Some persons may be aware of the drip but others may not be and may only present with cough.
It is treated with topical steroid nasal sprays and anti histamines
(2) cough related to asthma
(3) gastroesophageal reflux - GERD, treated with reflux medication and a change in diet
Your general practitioner would be able to treat you for any of these conditions.
I hope this helps
