Seem allergic

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Details you provided, suggest allergic cough.
And it doesn't go away, unless allergen is removed.
Like dust or any food, which could act as allergen.
To identify that, patient need full allergy test.
And also, get one chest xray done to rule out any pulmonary infiltrate.
I Hope Your Query is clear now.
