Irritating cough that won't go away

Does anyone have any advice for getting rid of a cough that just won't go away? I've been dealing with this for over a year now, and it's genuinely driving me crazy. It's a dry cough with no phlegm, but I keep getting this annoying tickle in my throat that triggers coughing fits.

I've already tried cold and flu medicine, cough drops, Vicks, cold and congestion medicine, and gargling warm salt water, but absolutely nothing has helped. I've even gone to urgent care and had my lungs checked and an X-ray done, but I'm still dealing with this and can't seem to get any relief.

I'm honestly desperate at this point. Has anyone experienced something similar or found anything that actually helped? I'm so tired of dealing with this every single day.
