I had a persistant dry cough for about a year.  I smoke so eveyone put it to that.

I went to an ear, nose thorat guy, come to find out I  had a polyp on my voice box.  

He took the polyp out, and no more cough?   Just saying.  It could be worth a try.

persistent dry cough can be caused by too many different reasons.

usually a problem in the lungs/air ways, anything including viral/bacterial/mold infections or asthma.

also heart conditions give persistent dry cough.

you need to consult a specialist, probably do blood tests, spirometry and chest x-ray.
