Interesting - your asthma may also affect it - but it would be a totally different cough, I reckon, as the asthma really narrows your airways & makes a wheeze more than anything.
I forgot to mention that I also used to smoke quite heavily for 5 years (20 a day) but stopped in 1984 - and they DO reckon I also have emphysema!! But I don't need any medication or 'exercises' as I don't believe I am not affected by it at all!!
My sister has the same chronic cough as me. We are always clearing our throat too. (it annoys my hubby BIGTIME!) Mind you - he has dementia & talks to himself all the time & that annoys me too! LOL I never know if he is talking to me!
Some years back, I bought a 'salt inhaler' that I actually should start to use again - the theory being that salt miners in Salzburg Germany NEVER had any congestion problems ..... as inhaling the salt as they worked kept everything 'dry'! Matter of fact, it is right here by my chair & I will put fresh Himalayan Rock salt in it & start using it again & see if it makes a difference! You can buy them for about $15 on ebay - it has tiny holes in the bottom & you inhale thru the top, with tiny 'particles' of salt entering your lungs! Every now & then you replace the rock salt. You can even go to 'salt rooms' and pay for the privilege of inhaling it!
Nah - YOU are the superwoman! You will deal with this & see all those milestones for your kids. xxx
Take care and all the best for your treatment xx
