Suggest Treatment For Chronic Cough And Acid Reflux

A chronic coughing causing pain in back; cough is dry( unproductive); often causing anxiety; often violent coughing spells; coughing for more than a year. Been to doctors- cardiologist who says he doesn t think it is related to the heart or pulmonary and gave me peptic medicine saying he thinks its acid reflux but don t have any other symptoms of that disease; allergist gave more antibiotic. Yet with taking all this medicine still coughing persists. An internist took an xray at a walk in clinic and said lungs clear. No one seems to know what is wrong. Was diagnosed with Guillain- Barre syndrome a few years ago and still experience tingling in my arms and legs, balls of feet, but a neurologist I recently went to said I don t have that disease after making me tough my nose and did a preliminary examination. What do you think?

Hello,

It may be due to acid reflux.

For that you can take tablet pantoprazole and syp mucaine gel after physician consultation.

Avoid hot and spicy foods.

Do regular exercise.

Avoid lying down after eating.

In case of not getting relief you may require upper GI endoscopy after gastroenterologist consultation

Hope I have answered your query.
