Hi, The GERD or reflux disease is nothing but bringing the stomach content mainly acidic fluid into the throat spontaneously. The acidic fluid itself causes chronic dry cough on supine posture and better with sitting posture. The PPI with Prokinetics like Levosulphirides twice daily before food will be helpful. Eat less in night, allow 2-3 hrs betwqeen dinner and sleep. Sleep upright with 30* angle or rise your head end of the cot. Avoid smoke , alcohol specially beers. All the best. if the above failed you meet Gastroenterologist. take care
