He stop smoking 20 years ago. They check his ashma and told him to take x-ray to examine the chest. But everythis is normal. We have no clue. He went to the doctor so many times in a year. Now he just pretty much give up....I hoped there is a miracle. Somtimes it's really hard to see him cough for such a long time.

Does he smoke?

There isn't anything you can do if this has been going on for several years and what the doctors give him doesn't help. Sounds like he has a lung disease. Possibly the beginnings of Emphysema, COPD or other pulmonary disease. You should get him to see a pulmonologist.

Has the doctor given him a thorough check up to see what is causing the coughing?
If could be an allergy or sinus problems.
Since I am not a doctor, he should see another one.
