Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
The problems can either be due to
(a) hyperacidity (indigestion) along with gastro-Esophageal reflux disease (GERD)- a condition in which there is backflow of acid or bile into the food pipe and even throat, causing cough; or,
(b) possible early allergic asthma.
Non-functional gall bladder can lead to excess bile in the stomach/duodenum and which then, can flow back into the esophagus, even into the throat, causing cough. Functional state of gall bladder will be confirmed on HIDA scan.
Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable/modified treatment as advised.
If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.
Take care
