Chronic cough needs to be evaluated in detail to rule out causes such as reflux laryngopharyngitis which is type of acidity related disorder, allergic airway disorder, post nasal discharge syndrome etc. She may need to take empirical treatment for these conditions as confirmation of diagnosis may be difficult
Next Steps
Consult nearby pulmonologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
