My mother is 91 and has had a cough for months- - some Drs. say it is sinuses others say it is GERD. had x ray --OK and ,any other things but nothing has solved the problem. Also, want to know where a good FULL time geriatrics dedicated DR is at to take her to because no Drs. in the Horry Co. area of SC seems to care or listen to me and her.
