Hello,
I want to know the blood pressure medications that you are taking. Some drugs cause called ACE inhibitors cause cough such lisinopril, enalapril etc.
I think you are cured of bronchitis and remained cough may be related to ACE inhibitors usage.
You may need to switch to ARB meds.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
