Do you have any allergies to pollen, etc? Sometimes these will cause the constant coughing.

It could be something called a GERD cough.  Is the cough like a constant clearing of the throat?

GERD is heartburn and not all patients actually feel symptoms of heartburn but only suffer from this mysterious cough.  

Because I am not a physician only a Medical Assistant I can give you treatment advice.  However, try some OTC (over the counter) medications for heartburn for 2-3 weeks and see if that helps.  Prior to trying anything always consult your physician to make sure that it is safe for you to take.
