I'm dealing with this dry cough that just won't go away. It's been ages, and nothing seems to come up when I cough. I've already gone to the hospital and got tested. The docs gave me some tablets and did an X-ray too. But even after all of this, the cough hasnt stopped. One of the doctors mentioned it's not TB and said my chest looks clear. So what else could be causing this? I'm 26, don't smoke, and only drink alcohol on rare occasions and in small amounts. Just trying to figure out what's going on here.

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for about six months now. Initially, it was just a cough, but recently I've noticed some blood when I cough, though it's only happened once or twice. I went to NIMS and they did an X-ray and endoscopy, but didn't find anything and they prescribed me Reswas and Trenxa syrup. Unfortunately, the cough hasn't improved and it tends to get worse at night. I'm feeling okay otherwise, but this nighttime cough is really starting to bother me. Could you suggest where I should go next or what kind of specialist I should consult?
