Chronic Cough: It is very likely that you are having chronic cough. Cough greater than 6 weeks in duration is termed chronic cough. Post infectious cough is a commonly diagnosed condition. Treatment of cough is often an empirical method . Treatments are geared towards multiple causes in a step wise fashion. Sometimes anticholinergic inhalers work in post infectious cough. Please talk to your doctor.
