Hi Mam,
I have gone through your query, if you are not improving after the treatment given by your doctor then you may go for the throat swab culture and antibiotic sensitivity and also go for the X ray chest PA view. Consult the ENT specialist for better diagnosis and management.
Wish you good health

Hi madam
Gone through your query
With history you have given it looks like sino bronchial allergy with unknown allergen.Therefore find out the allergen and avoid it.
Another important condition Which causes Nocturnal cough is gastro esophageal reflux disease called as GERD,if necessary you need undergo UGI endoscopy and make some lifestyle changes like reducing weight ,avoid drinking water just before going to bed,increase height of head head end of bed by 30 degrees etc...
Another possibility is bronchial asthma as nocturnal cough is indicative of underlying asthma
Wish you healthy life
