How Can severe Cough Be Treated?
I m not sick - no temp, feel great but I get a scratchy throat causing a cough frequently enough that I wonder what s causing it. Can t connect to anything specific - like salty foods because it can happen when I turn over in bed at night. What do you think?

Hi,
It is due to gastroesophageal reflux disease which precipitates a cough as you lie down.
Don't worry take Lansoprazole.
You can take tab. Cetirizine.
If will relieve in one week. However, if it continues then report to the emergency room for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
