HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The persistence cough and the proton pump inhibitor are nothing to do with each other, if it is long standing cough and does not respond to symptomatic treatment then it has to be investigated, this is the rule and for that x-ray study of chest and the routine blood examination is necessary, better to go for this have nice day.
