Sinus/asthma: The persistent cough suggests airway hyperreactivity/asthma. Smking, ipostnasal drip as well as gastroesophageal reflux commonly increase cough. The bronchial tubes become overly sensitive to particulate matter which is inhaled. Best to treat sinus upper airway conditions such as sinusitis and treat cough with inhalers.
