Constant coughing

2017-10-13 07:28:30
My father is 52 years old. Since last 3 months, he has started coughing on a regular basis. He doesn't even smoke. Few tests like blood test and for TB also didn't show anything. The doctor said there is nothing to worry about, it's just an allergy. But he is coughing continuously. What should we do, please help? P.S He is a high blood pressure patient from many years and regularly takes Amlovas AT and he snores very loudly.
