Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Sometimes allergy can cause similar kind of coughing.
So better to get done allergy testing.
Also get done eosinophil count and serum total IgE level.
If these are raised than possibility of allergy is more.
So consult doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query.
