Pulmonologist 's  Response
Hello and thank you for asking in HCM.
I have gone through your concern
The cough more than 2 months is considered as chronic cough.The first to explore are the lung diseases.
For this you have to do some tests :
Chest X Ray
Prick tests
Pneumoalergens
Spirometry test

According to the results the pulmonologist will decide for further treatment.

Best wishes
