I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with a cough for the past 23 months. I've seen a few doctors, but nothing seems to be improving. It's really frustrating. Can you tell me what might be going on or suggest what I should try next?

I'm trying to understand a few things that I'm experiencing right now. My recent chest X-ray showed hyperinflation of the lungs, but my doctor mentioned it might just be because I took a deep breath, saying the X-ray looks normal. The ENT said it could be early signs of asthma. Im on AB Phylline 100mg, Alex Syrup, and Prustalin Antihistamine, which have almost stopped my cough, but I still have phlegm and post-nasal drip, especially when I don't take Prustalin. I have a non-smoker background, no exposure to chemical fumes, but my mom does have asthma, and my IgE level came back at 440 with eosinophils last checked at 10.5. Is this really asthma? Should I be considering inhalers after finishing this current course of medication, and do the X-ray and PFT results seem normal to you?

Your current symptoms and reports suggest allergic airway inflammation that may be managed well without inhalers.Check with family history for asthma
