Use your inhaler : The lungs and airways are hyperreactive and this may be from underlying irritation and inflammation. The inhalers such as albuterol four times a day may be helpful. Additionally, a long acting inhaler such as symbicort (budesonide and formoterol) or dulera may help with more lasting relief. Keep a log of frequency of coughs. You need to give it a couple of weeks to see improvement. Than it's back to the doctor for recheck.

Asthma: You should be on medication for asthma. If you are still having asthma symptoms then revisit your doctor. You should be able to be symptom free with correct medications.
