I've been dealing with a dry and nagging cough for the past couple of weeks, and it's really starting to worry me. I've already tried levocetirizine tablets and several cough syrups geared towards dry coughs, but nothing seems to be helping. What should I do to find some relief?

I'm dealing with allergic bronchitis and allergic rhinitis for a while now, and I'm taking Ab Phylline SR 200 and Symbicort. I just got my blood test results back, and my ESR is at 24, which seems a bit high, and my lymphocytes are at 43.8, above the usual limit. Is this something I should be concerned about in relation to my allergy issues? Could these levels be contributing to my symptoms?

I'm a civil engineer and often travel to places where the air isn't too clean. Every time I do this, I end up with difficulty breathing through my nose the next day, although I can breathe fine through my mouth. My local doctor gave me this tab called Ebasil, and it works great, but the symptoms come back as soon as I stop taking it. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how to deal with this?
