Suggest Treatment For Cough And Acid Reflux
Hello,
For months I struggled to sleep due to fluid or acid in my lungs known as acid reflux, I have been on lanzoprazole for 7-8 months and at first the fluid stopped but I constantly cough and it never stops. My throat is really sore and over the past 2-3 weeks I've been coughing more and more harshly, my tablets don't seem to be helping and I feel like my throat/ food pipe area is blocked every time I eat a little after I struggle to breathe and go into coughing fits until I'm heaving and throwing it back up.. It constantly happens and I'm in a lot of pain I feel like even after I've been sick my throat is still clogged what should I do? I can't eat or drink or sleep and it's messing with my work and everyday life
