[|AI|]  Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor.sometimes cough, takes time to resolve completely could be because of improper treatment, misdiagnosis or due to some unknown allergic factor. I suggest you to undergo sputum microscopic examination and culture and sensitivity examination. It will guide you about nature of infection. Tuberculosis is also a common cause of chronic cough that can takes time and require proper treatment. You should consult a respiratory and chest physician for complete evaluation of case .hope it will help you.
