How Can Chronic Cough Be Treated?

I have a horrible cough. My asthma flares up seasonally due to allergies. The feeling is usually higher in the back of my throat. This feeling is about 3-4 inches below my normal area. Center of my chest just has a tickle. Lots of post nasal drip though. I’m coughing constantly to the point my eyes are bright red.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Hope you are continuing to take medications prescribed for asthma. Antihistamines will help you stay away from allergies. For chronic cough visit ER & get investigated. Get chest X-ray done & spirometry tests done to rule out COPD or any other disease affecting breathing. In the meantime you can take Prednisolone & Dextromethorphan for relieve. Do gargling with saline water, stay away from addictions & eat healthy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
