Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of persistent cough which is due to leftover infection in your body from preexisting condition.  Although you're taking so much of medication and not getting benefitted. Need not worry. I would suggest you to start with course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  Avoid taking cold beverages. You should take mast cell stabilizers to prevent from infection. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist without any delay. Doctor may order blood test, throat swab test or virus culture test. You should get an x-ray of the chest. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics amoxicillin at least for 10 days along with bucolic agents. Go for complete blood count. You should avoid hot, sharp and spicy foods. For now do warm saline rinses, take rest. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
