Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. The best way out is to get a VideoLaryngoScopy (VL'Scopy) done. This examination will help locate the signs if this is a laryngitis, reflux or a post nasal drip.
2. Acid relux medications do require several weeks to work. The recommended course is 8 to 12 weeks. A bland diet and lifestyle changes will also be required in addition to the medication.
3. Meanwhile get a prescription for an anti-allergic mucolytic and a cough suppressant. check if the OTC cough syrups you were having were expectorants. Expectorants will worsen your cough.
4. These investigations should be done before any throat swab , chest X-ray or blood tests.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
