[|AI|]  Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Chronic cough can be due to any of the following conditions. 1. Lung infection2. Bronchitis3. Asthma better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system. 2. Chest x ray3. PUT (pulmonary function test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis and asthma. Asthma is more likely in your case as you are having nighttime symptoms and aggravated in pollution. So get done PFT. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of asthma is based on severity only. So consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
