Chronic cough. There for last 2-3yrs!

It's an allergic disease , avoid the triggers

it can be bronchitis or cought variant asthma like symptoms

do serum ige and allergy testing and then take proper consultation with pft

you do have an allergic history..but a recurrence, that too that frequent can progress to obstructive  airways, post which you will have breathing issues too..so kindly get evaluated in detail and start an early appropriate management .

From your description, this seems to be a chronic or recurrent cough, present for the last 2–3 years and triggered by seasonal changes, sweets, and coffee. The fact that it lingers for months and improves temporarily with hot water suggests it may be related to: • Allergic airway disease (allergic cough/asthma variant) • Post-nasal drip from nasal allergy or sinus issues • Gastroesophageal reflux (acid reflux), which can worsen with coffee or sweets • Less commonly, other lung conditions that need evaluation Why it matters Even if mild, a persistent cough over years should be evaluated. It often indicates an underlying condition like asthma, allergy, or reflux that can be well controlled with the right treatment. Early diagnosis helps improve quality of life and prevents complications. Supportive measures you can try • Avoid known triggers such as coffee, sweets, and dust exposure. • Stay well hydrated and continue warm water sips. • Steam inhalation and nasal hygiene may help if allergies are involved. • Maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid late-night meals if reflux is suspected. Take care and wishing you good health. Dr. Neelesh Guttikonda MD Pulmonary Medicine | Fellowship in Interventional Pulmonology

Next steps Since this has been going on for several years, I would strongly recommend a consultation with a chest specialist (pulmonologist). A simple set of tests like a lung function test (PFT) and sometimes an allergy or reflux evaluation can identify the cause and guide treatment. With proper management, chronic cough can be significantly reduced or completely resolved.

Word of reassurance: You’ve managed this for years, but with a clear diagnosis and tailored treatment, you don’t have to keep living with ongoing cough. Consulting a pulmonologist will give you the right direction and long-term relief.
