How To Stop Constant Coughing At Night?

I am taking lansorprazole 30 ml twice a day for ascid reflux. I cough all night and it does not seem to help. Been on since April. Maybe I am taking it wrong? I take it just before breakfast and right before dinner. It is not allergies took meds for that and nothing changed.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are different causes for chronic cough: (1) post nasal drip- this is the most common cause of persistent cough. Some persons may have a silent drip where they only have the cough but do not recognize the drip is present

It is treated by avoiding the allergen if possible and using topical steroid nasal sprays like nasonex, nasocort, rhinocort, flonase, avamys.

(2)asthma

(3) GERD- gastroesophageal reflux disease

Some persons may have more than one of these combined to cause symptoms. You may want to combine a topical nasal spray with your GERD medication.

I hope this helps
