Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM.
Yes. Allergic bronchitis will be the most appropriate cause for such continuous cough especially when there is nothing got by the investigations.
Avoid allergens like cold causing food, atmosphere etc
Steam inhalation will help a lot along with some antihistaminic and decongestant medicines.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
