How To Have A Permanent Cure For The Recurring Cough?

Every year, I get an annoying cough that can last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. I waited it out the first few times before going to a doctor who told me it was a postnasal drip. I took the nasal spray he prescribed me and it disappeared after another week. This year, though, I picked up some new symptoms and a new doctor who gave me 3 different prescriptions that were supposed to get rid of the cough. It s been a week of taking prescription allergy pills, using an inhaler, and using the usual nasal spray... I m still coughing and it hasn t even decreased in frequency. The symptoms are: A constant cough lasting a month (wet cough in morning, dry cough throughout the day), no pain other than the soreness from constant coughing, yellow bumps in back of throat, overall yellow tint in throat, and dark red veins in throat. Please help me figure this out! I m so exhausted
