Chest & Breathing Problems

Frequent cold cough and fever

I get frequent cold cough and fever every couple of months, not just in winters. I live in Bangalore. I have consulted many doctors but they always end up giving me antibiotics to treat symptoms but not try to find and address root cause. My IgE levels are normal (30) and phadiatop is also negative which indicates that it's not due to allergy.  I had cold and cough when I took the tests. How can I further diagnose this to find out root cause?

Dry cough since 7 years

I am having dry cough (it itches on my back of the throat) since since 7 years. The cough intensity varies from day to day but  it has always been there every single day since 2015. Cough syrups suprress it for sometime. No treatment has worked for me till date. I have done bronchoscopy and allergy test. Bronchoscopy report was normal. I am allergic to certain allergens which i try to stay away from. Ige always ranges between 200 to 400. Whenever i go to any doctor they give me inhalers like foracort, aerocort and sereflo. But whenever i use inhalers it increases my chest irritation and cough. Can anyone explain why?

Needle Biopsy

My 67 yr old mother has decided to go for needle biopsy after listening to all the advice from all doctors but she has a regular cough.. I'm worried that what would happen if she coughs during the procedure? Should we do something or will the doctor doing the procedure do something about this? We have ten days left, any precautions we should take before going in?
