Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since you have recent traveling history, we should rule out lung infection (pneumonia or tuberculosis) and bronchitis for your chronic cough. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). You may need antibiotics and inhaled treatment (formoterol or albuterol) according to the diagnosis. Don't worry, you will be alright with appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
