Hello, Welcome!
In a diabetic, even if controlled, fever with chronic cough requiring hospital admissions has a number of differential diagnoses; asthma & pulmonary TB must Ist be ruled out. Blood eosinophilia for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, foreign body, chronic laryngotracheitis are other possibilities. You have to see also HbA1c to see strict glycemia control. I think a Pulmonologist opinion is a must. Good luck.

As all your tests are within normal limits still recurrent cough and pyrexia troubles you it calls for further investigations. The locus of cough in such cases can be abdomen, lungs or throat.Taking it to be PUO with kaphaj imbalance In herbal medicines we recommend sy. crux 2 tsf bd and tab.maha sudershan ghan vati 2 bd. Take hot water avoid cold things and curd. Kanth sudharak vati can be sucked.

hello dear,visit to a chest physician will be helpful.Breathing exercises are a must. Allergy looks like the problem.As it is in diabetics to get control over any infection is difficult.If symptoms persist visit a homoeopath.
