Dry cough since 5 years
I am having dry cough since 5 years.
My IGE ranges between 200-400
Have shown many doctors but they just give inhalers which doesn't help me.
It's not a case of acid reflux.
I have allergy with cockroaches, paper dust, and few more
But even if i am away from such stuffs, i do have cough
I don't know what is the reason, sometimes it increases while sometimes it decreases.
I have tried steroids, many inhalers like aerocort, flomist nasal spray, foracort, montair LC.
Bronchoscopy also didn't show anything
The cough is continuous since last 5 years.
But strange thing is i never cough while sleeping.
Please help
