Yes, chronic cough and irritation in the throat can be treated.
my dear, you may have dust allergy but your current symptoms of a cough with yellow sputum indicate superimposed infection, I would have recommended a course of oral antibiotics to such a patients along with cough syrup (dextromethorphan and diphenhydramine)along with antihistaminics
steam inhalation, proper hydration will help a lot.
identify the allergen and avoid it.
hope this was helpful please let me know and feel free to ask me any related question
