Hi,

A cough that is proactive and last for more than 2 weeks always need proper assessment to rule out chronic lung problems like TB, COPD etc.

So if antibi4amd antihistamine has not worked for you, you should go to chest doctor for getting X-ray chest and scan if needed, and some blood test so that the cause can be found and then properly managed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
