My Guy, Andy Is 61. He's Had A Harsh Type

My guy, Andy is 61. He's had a harsh type cough almost as if he had phlem in his throat for 2 1/2 years plus . Went to doctor, doc prescribed Omeprozle 20mg. Acid reflux, says the doctor.
Andy takes the med randomly & 2 prescriptions worth for a month lasted him 6 months.
No heartburn, no similar symptoms to acid reflux's except maybe the ongoing loud constant harsh sounding cough off and on all day everyday. Dr just refilled the omeprozle script again.
A cough that's (not good) lasted many years, and he's taking a med for acid reflux. Idk, new doctor maybe?
