The team at Cure Allergy Clinic is dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate care to alleviate your allergy symptoms so you can enjoy doing what you love. With our expertise, our board-certified physicians will educate and guide you through your conditions.
A cough that will not go away can disrupt your sleep, your work, and your day, and treating it can dramatically improve your quality of life. At Cure Allergy Clinic, Dr. M. Waseem Imam works with you to test, investigate, and relieve your symptoms rather than just quieting the cough for a few hours.
We provide chronic cough relief for patients across Arlington, Irving, Mansfield, and the surrounding North Texas communities. Call (817) 678-5575 to schedule, or book online.
A chronic cough is a cough that lasts longer than six weeks. An occasional cough is normal and healthy. Coughing is how your body clears irritants and secretions from your lungs. It becomes a problem when it persists week after week.
A chronic cough can range from a minor annoyance to something severe enough to disrupt your sleep, exhaust you, or in rare cases even cause a fractured rib. Importantly, a chronic cough is almost always a symptom of an underlying condition, not a condition by itself, which is why lasting relief comes from finding and treating that root cause.

(817) 678 – 5575A chronic cough is usually caused by an underlying condition, and allergies are one of the most common and most overlooked. If you are constantly clearing your throat, fighting a persistent tickle, or living with a nagging cough, your immune system may be overreacting to something harmless in your environment.
Common causes of a chronic cough include:
Because the right treatment depends entirely on the cause, identifying the trigger is the most important step. Treating the symptom alone rarely makes a chronic cough go away for good.
A chronic cough often comes with related symptoms that point toward its cause, and occasionally with warning signs that need prompt evaluation. Paying attention to these clues helps your provider get to the source faster.
Symptoms that commonly accompany a chronic cough include:
When a chronic cough needs urgent attention
In some cases, a chronic cough can be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a lung or heart problem. See a doctor promptly if your cough comes with coughing up blood, unexplained weight loss, chest pain, or significant shortness of breath. A thorough evaluation rules out serious causes and gives you peace of mind.
We diagnose a chronic cough by investigating the underlying condition causing it, using your history, an exam, and targeted testing. Dr. Imam starts by reviewing how long you have been coughing, what makes it worse, and what other symptoms you have, then narrows down the cause.
Your evaluation may include:
Often the team will also help determine whether something in your home environment is triggering the cough, since removing that exposure can bring real relief.
Chronic cough treatment targets the underlying condition, so once that is treated, the cough typically resolves. Rather than masking the cough, we focus on what is driving it.
Depending on the cause, treatment may include:
Allergen immunotherapy (drops or shots) and antihistamines to reduce the allergic response, plus guidance on minimizing exposure.
Inhaled asthma medications and corticosteroids to calm airway inflammation.
Acid blockers to stop reflux from irritating the throat and airways.
Antibiotics when a bacterial infection is the cause.
Decongestants to relieve postnasal drip and related irritation.
When allergies or an irritant in your environment are responsible, identifying and reducing contact with that trigger is often the key to long-term relief. Our specialists can also recommend tailored options for a stubborn dry cough.
Your treatment process, step by step:
Common Questions
Allergies, environmental irritants, asthma or other lung conditions, GERD (acid reflux), lingering infections, and COPD are the most common causes.
In most cases, yes. Because a chronic cough is a symptom of an underlying condition, treating that condition usually resolves the cough.
It depends on the cause. Some people improve within days once the right treatment starts, while conditions treated with immunotherapy or long-term therapy may take several weeks to months.
Identify and reduce contact with your triggers, manage underlying conditions like allergies, asthma, or reflux, and address respiratory infections promptly.
Yes. An undiagnosed environmental or food allergy is one of the most common and overlooked causes of a persistent cough.
Yes. GERD can irritate the throat and airways and is a frequent cause of a lingering cough, often without obvious heartburn.

Why We're Different
Dr. Imam is one of the best doctors I've ever had. He's incredibly intelligent, kind, caring, and has great bedside manner. He loves what he does and it shows — he is always up to date with the ever evolving nature of medicine and is always looking for ways to improve how he cares for his patients. As a physician myself this is exactly who I look for to take care of myself and my family. I cannot recommend him enough.

From the moment I searched and found Cure Allergy in Mansfield, I was impressed. Dr. Osman is truly an exceptional doctor! He made me feel incredibly comfortable, listened carefully to all of my concerns, and never made me feel rushed. He took the time to explain everything clearly and created a care plan that actually works. After years of chronic coughing and trouble swallowing, he gave me answers NO other doctor or specialist could.
