Hi,



Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum,

This cough can be due to laryngopharyngeal reflux secondary to acid reflux from th stomach which worsens on lying down. Drink plenty of water, lie down on the left side. Take your meals at least 2 hours before you go to bed.

Take care



Regards

Dr. Naveen Kumar
