Chronic dry cough
I am suffering from chronic dry cough since 2-3 years. I have vigorous cough and throat irritation around 10 times a day. I do not smoke or drink. Chest X-ray came out normal. Nasal endoscopy showed DNS and sinusitis. Can that be the reason for chronic cough. This persistent cough causes huge mental stress and pain in muscles while coughing. I have had medicines for GERD and allergy, it gets slightly suppressed with cough medicines but the cough again resumes with equal intensity. Please help
