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?
