Hi thanks for asking question.
First long term repeated cough might be due to irritation by acid reflux simply.so if you have acid reflux or acidity history then omeprazole can be taken with preventive measures.
Second you have mucus in cough so chronic bronchitis or bronchiectasis like condition has to be ruled out.Chest x ray and spirometry useful for it.
Third if prolonged cough with fever and difficult breathing present then pneumonia or Tb should be ruled out by chest x ray or sputum examination respectively.
Wish you good health.
