Please get a chest x-ray

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.

Since you are getting recurrent cough, it is time that you get tested. Chest x-ray is needed to find the cause and extent of infection or allergy.

Also other related tests will be needed.

Thus I suggest that you see an internal medicine specialist or a pulmonologist.

It may be asthma.

Thus treatment will depend on the cause.

Hope it helps
