Do you have a humidifier? to put more moisture in the atmosphere?
and/or air purifiers?
Is there any mold in your house? that also can cause coughs, allegies, etc.--can be fixed, although it's a pain.
I've had chronic sinus infections which were helped by using high grade air purifiers in a couple of rooms.
The other thing is that I draw with charcoal and pastels and when the pastel dust is really bad, I wear a mask. Really annoying, but it helps my breathing in general. So if you do any activity that creates a lot of dust, or perhaps in any area of the house near where the walls were redone, you might wear a mask--a little better than the ones in drugstores, but doesn't have to be a super-high grade one--or put an extra-strong air purifier.
It helped gradually over time-- took awhile, but did make a difference for me.
