Hello.You require additional test for diagnosis lower airway pathologies(thorax radiograph,
spirometry)and upper airway pathologies .If additional test nothing was found,should be discarded another pathologies that cause cronic cough such as reflux stomach to esophagus or postnasal drip.
The cause of chronic cough is not always an affection of the respiratory tract.
I wish you good health
