Allergic rhinitis: Allergic rhinitis and post nasal drip can cause frequent persistent coughing, and may improve with use of an over the counter non-sedating antihistamine such as Claritin or Zyrtec. Allergic rhinitis is often accompanied by hyper-reactive airways/asthma, which may require a prescription medication. Your pediatrician can help you sort this out. Best wishes...
