You'd be surprised what allergies can do. My toddler had a cough for most of his life. As what seemed like a last-ditch effort, his pediatrician finally said, "Let's try some Zyrtec and see if that helps him." Sure enough, he's now cough-free. His only symptom was chest congestion, and since the cough is gone, I'm thinking the doctor was right about it being allergies.

You should give it a shot. It shouldn't really hurt anything if you take an allergy med (approved by your doc) and it doesn't help. (Except, of course, you're out the time and cost of the appointment and prescription.)
