Dry Cough

I'm having chronic cough since few years now, I only get cough while talking & most of the time there is no cough if I'm silent. There is no cough while at sleep as well. Just after intake of the food I get cough for a minute or 2. And If I laugh alot even then I get severe cough....I was able to over come the cough by taking Fexofenadine Hydrochloride 180mg tab & two other tabs. There was no cough untill 6-8months... however it again started since few weeks.
there is no phlegm or mucus. Doc says that its Acute Bronchitis...I have no problem with breathing if not coughing. I wonder wats going on with me?

I believe asthma can't ruled out ?

I have a constant cronic dry cough, it is really bad if I laugh, have any type of vinegar products or heavy syrup. My airways are blocked, I wheeze really hard. I can not exhaul air. When I exhaul is when i really cough. Ashma is ruled out, I have been tested 2 times and no ashma, The doctor thought I have acid reflux that is getting into my airways, I took medicine and no help,.I hate this, any thoughts out there? thank you  Troy

Looking to communicate with people who have had their cough for at least 2 years that do not smoke, no asthma, no major allergies and do NOT cough while in horizontal position or no coughing while sleeping but when they get out of bed and periodically during the day.  Food or water can trigger the cough too.
