Thanks for your query. Chronic Cough (Lasting for over 06 weeks) is a common symptom. Causes vary from benign conditions to serious one which requires to be excluded by radiological investigations. Assuming the Chest X-ray is reported as normal ,then conditions to consider include Medications especially BP, Allergic cough, Asthma, Rhino-sinusitis ,Post nasal discharge & GE reflex. Occasionally heart failure & even ear wax can cause cough.A detailed history /Examination with appropriate investigations including Lung Functions can help in making the diagnoses. Management will depend on cause of cough. General measures include avoiding triggering factors, spicy & fatty foods, carbonated drinks & good hydration, loosing weight in obese individuals may be helpful. Simple home made remedy such as honey with lemon is often beneficial.
