Chronic just means long lasting. You may have epileptic attacks over many years but they may be infrequent, short and manageable such as "aura". Severe epilepsy usually means "intractable" epilepsy where the attacks are frequent, usually involve spasms or convulsive movements, loss of conciousness and little or no response to treatment. Of course you can have chronic and severe epilepsy.

It is highly unlikely that epilepsy would cause a cough of any kind. Epilepsy affects the brain, and although that in turn causes effects in other parts of the body, it would not cause a cough. The effects of epilepsy would only last during a seizure, whereas a chronic cough would be something that would be continuous. The cause of a problem cough would lie elsewhere.
