Persistent cough is usually common with gastric upset. But x ray abnormality is not a common one. Go for CT scan of the chest for further diagnosis. Till then continue your anti acidity medicines and dietary modifications as advised by other consultants.

Please see a pulmonologist.
In the meanwhile avoid spicy , oily food. Avoid caffiene, chocolates, alcohol. Sit upright for atleast 3 hours after a meal before you lay down on bed.

If the shadows on Chest X ray are coming again and again we need to rule out allergic reactions to specific fungus which presents as asthma with shadows on chest x ray.
Please talk to a pulmonologist and get an entire examination done...
