Hello are having cough for 5 months and took cough syrup as well some antibiotics. You got some relief, but cough still present, particularly when take milk, ice cream (milk products). Such type of cough may be due to these possibilities, these include:1 Allergy to dairy products, particularly, you mentioned that you develop cough after milk and ice cream. Diagnosis can be confirmed by allergy test for milk products. So consult an allergy specialist and get allergy test.2 The next possibility of such symptoms may be due to asthmatic allergic bronchitis (in this condition patient develop cough due to bronchoconstriction caused by allergy by mold, dust, pollen, fumes, smoking) So take care about these allergens.3 Smokers cough, if you are smoker then this cough may be due to smoking. Be careful about that also. However, there are so many other reasons of such cough but consult another physician and get his opinion as mentioned above.
