You have gone through a lot over the past 8 months.  It is time to find out WHY you are coughing and then to treat the cause.  All you are doing is taking medications for a variety of things without a diagnosis.  I would suggest seeing a Pulmonologist and discussing the problem.  This could be from the upper airways (a sinus problem that started as an infection months ago) or a lower airway problem, such as the asthma and bronchitis for which you have taken a few medications on and off.  There are many reasons for these symptoms.  Now is the time to determine which one(s) is the cause and then treat effectively.
