What Causes Constant Cough And Cold?

Dear Sir my father is suffering from cough & cold for a fairly long time. the problem is that it results in constant coughing which lasts for months altogether. Last time he contracted cough it lasted for 2 months altogether. The problem is that even after taking medicine or antibiotics, coughing does not recedes. We are very disappointed. Should we consult a Pulmonologist for indepth check up or should we consult some other doctor. Every thing in the test appears to be normal. Please guide us.

Your clinical history is suggestive of chronic cough .
Most common causes of chronic cough
1)Upper airway cough syndrome (UACS), previously referred to as postnasal drip syndrome (PNDS)
2)Asthma
3)Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
4)Tuberculosis
I would advice , you should consult both ENT specialist & Pulmonologist .
