Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent Chat Doctor.  I would suggest you to visit pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should get pulmonary function tests and X-ray chest done. Avoid use of sharp, oily and fried food substances. You should take cough expectorants. You should do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day. Furthermore, you should avoid cold carbonated beverages. Apply mist humidifiers in room. You should take throat soothing agents such as stretches. Take combination of antibiotic amoxiclav along with anti histamine such as Levocetrizine. Doctor may also refer you to gastroenterologist for proper diagnosis if he/she find this problem to be related with acid reflux (HERD) . Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
