Hi lybrate-user, coughing can be due to many reasons such as fever or throat infection but chronic coughing is mainly because of lung or digestion problems. Do not try medicines to treat cough as it will not go till the underlying problem is resolved. In fact trial and error medication will make you worse. Since you coughed up blood as well, get a complete check-up done including all blood investigations (cbc, differential blood count, esr etc) and chest x-ray. You can also undergo a tb scanning test since your problem is chronic. In the meantime avoid cold, spicy and sour foods and keep your general immunity good. Homoeopathy can help you a lot with your trouble, consult privately or consult a good homoeopath with your test reports.
