[|AI|]  Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... Cough can occur when irritation to respiratory Tract occur.... If you have acid reflux disease then by acid irritation to throat cough can occur... Omeprazole given for it... Second bronchitis like condition can lead cough... Chest x-ray done... If bronchitis present bronchi vascular marking will be prominent... If you have smoking habit then irritation can lead cough. If needed spirometry and chest x-ray useful... Sometime cough can be psychological if all found normal. Consult pulmonologist for detail physical examination. Take care.
