Constant coughing
My father is 52 years old. Since last 3 months, he has started coughing on a regular basis. He doesn't even smoke. Few tests like blood test and for TB also didn't show anything. The doctor said there is nothing to worry about, it's just an allergy. But he is coughing continuously. What should we do, please help?
P.S He is a high blood pressure patient from many years and regularly takes Amlovas AT and he snores very loudly.

Sometimes chronic cough may be because of anti hypertensive medication he is taking. Other causes for chronic intractable cough are allergy, post viral cough etc. You should consult a specialist for confirmation of diagnosis
Next Steps
Consult nearby pulmonologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
