Hello..
Chronic cough for two years has to be thoroughly evaluated..
You need to get a sputum examination done for that.. in chronic infections there is a chance for loss of sense of smell..
It is good if you can visit a doctor for thorough physical examination and tests if required..
If you have anymore queries I would be happy to help you..
