My wife's been dealing with a dry cough for over two months now. We did an X-ray and some blood tests, and the doctor thinks it's an allergy. She's already been through three courses of tablets, but there's still no improvement. What do you think we should do next? Do you have any suggestions?

I'm dealing with allergic asthma and sinus issues since I was a kid. I usually take anti-allergy meds like Montair LC, Monlevo, and Motex LC. Right now, I've been taking just one Motair LC tablet per day. Could you guide me on the proper treatment or tell me if this medication is enough? Also, do you have any other suggestions or recommendations for managing this condition?
