Asthma: You are too young for COPD so my guess is asthma. Cystic fibrosis and other rare illness are theoretically possible so please get checked. Asthma is reversible and can be treated with medicines.

Chronic cough: While asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, post nasal drip and reflux represent the large percentage of patients with a chronic cough, it is worthwhile to have the cough evaluated due to its worsening nature.
