[|AI|]  Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. Cough could be of infectious or allergic in nature. I suggest you to undergone sputum examination for microscopy it will guide you about level of inflammation weather it is upper respiratory or lower respiratory in origin. ENT examination is also required ruling out any deformity or disturbance in discharging mechanism of sinuses. I suggest you to take stem inhalation regularly it will provide soothing effect to your respiratory mucosa. Consult a physician for proper examination and treatment .
