Suggest A Good Treatment For Continuous Coughs
So I went to see the ENT last year. I was diagnosed with GERD. I was prescribes Nexium. It seemed to work at that time but now the symptoms have returned (constant clearing of throat, coughing, interrupted coughs when trying to talk) I have scheduled an appointment with the Gastrologist. What am I experiencing?

Hi
GERD causes symptoms of sore throat as the gastric acid irritates the vocal cords and posterior pharyngeal wall.
You need to do some dietary & lifestyle modifications. Avoid heavy meals at night, do not lie down immediately after taking meals.
Take these medications for 1 month.
Tab. Nexum 40mg once daily
Tab. Motilium 1 tablet thrice daily
Do saline gargles or aspirin gargles to reduce throat's inflammation.
Take care.
