Suggest Cure For A Persistent Dry Cough
For the last three days, everytime I stand up i have a wicked bad dry, almost hacking cough. It usually lasts for about a min and then I'm fine until I stand up again, with only a few incidents of minor coughing when sitting hunched over. Is there anything I can do?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due laryngopharyngeal reflux. In such case taking Proton pump inhibitors like rabeprazole and motility enhancers like domperidone will be helpful. Better to have an examination by your physician to rule out any problems with lungs or post nasal drip.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
