How Can heartburn Along With Cough Be Treated?
Hello, I am wondering if I should go in for a cough I ve had for about a month now. I do have GERD, but haven t experienced heartburn recently. About a month ago, after having a few colds, I developed a cough. I now only cough during the night, and my lymph nodes are swollen. But other than that, I feel fine. Is there any medication I can take to make this go away?

Hello,
You are a diagnosed case of GERD, take an opinion of Gastroenterologist or medicine specialist who might ask for an investigation like endoscopy, gastric analysis, haemoglobin.
PS. Any unusual STRESS related to physical and/or mental could be the cause. Do not lie down immediately after food. Rest your head in high position at night (during sleep). Take small nonbulky meals.
Bland and soft diet, avoid chilies, sour or fatty food. Stop irritant drugs (painkillers).
Take green gram, bitter gourd, white gourd melon, old brown rice, piper longum, garlic, honey, amla, rice gruel, cucumber, banana, watermelon, pomegranate, tomato, carrot, lukewarm water.
Avoid newly harvested rice, chickpea flour, black/horse gram, potato, brinjal, buttermilk, spices, tea/coffee, junk food, daytime sleeping, salt and salt items in excess (chutney, sauce, pickles, chips, namkeen), sesame. Suck a piece of clove (for immediate relief).
Suck 10 gm jaggery every day (after meals) for constant acidity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
