Most likely cause would be cigarette smoking. Allergies to pollen or food would not cause symptoms all year round.

Chronic cough as described may also due to unseen Mold Allergy. Living/ Working Environmental mold check might be helpful.

A sputum sample analysis for cultures and cytological analysis is recommended. Avoid smoke exposure, dust and mold. A Pulmonary specialist is recommended and a virtual consult with Healthtap is available.
