Q: constant allergy like cough: dry. Did not hear at night...

An eight years old child developed a cough starting in April which became significantly worse last couple of days..  Nothing hurts, and breathing is not difficult, he answers on my questions.. He just needs to clear his throat.  But sounds bad to me.  Claritin helps slightly.  I thought his coughing is less outside.  Did not hear at night (at least at the beginning of the night)

Food, trees..I'm at loss.  We do know that he is allergic to Elm trees.  But why so long (2nd month) and why became worse??

Planning to go to JohnHopkins again for another allergy test..

 

Thank you for any help!
