Thanks for asking your question I completely understand your issue cough is a symptom for variety of diseases like tb, URI, LETI, bronchial asthma, herd. You should take a proton pump inhibitor like pantoprazole once daily before meals and some bronchodilator syrup like combination of aerosol and guaphenesin which will ease the cough due to bronchi constriction. Consult a pulmonologist, he'll prescribe you with all the medications above.frequent cough in your case seems to be due to bronchoconstriction pulmonologist will evaluate the cause by requesting some investigations like chest X-ray and spirometry.headache is because excessive cough leads to increase intro cranial pressure. Once cough will get relieved headache ll decrease subsequently. Thanks / regards feel free to ask more questions may god bless you with good health
