[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having chronic cough for 20 years. Possibility of bronchitis or asthma is more in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule other lung related causes. PFT is must for the diagnosis of asthma or bronchitis. It will mostly also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Combination of antihistamine and anti-allergic Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, your cough will subside. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
