Suggest Remedy For Acid Reflux Followed By Severe Cough With Phelgm

I have acid reflux, had an endoscopy showed nothing. I take nexium in the morning and zantac 75 when I go to bed. Tonight I was having a salad and starting coughing phlegm but the amount was so much. I filled a whole napkin. This never happened before what caused it?

Hello my friend
Thanks for your question on HCM

I understand very well your problem
But did your doctor said to you that the treatment of acid reflux is not only with medications but even lifestyle modification .

Lifestyle modifications include the following:

1. Losing weight (if overweight)

2. Avoiding alcohol, chocolate, citrus juice, and tomato-based products
also suggest avoiding peppermint, coffee, and possibly the onion family

3.Avoiding large meals

4.Waiting 3 hours after a meal before lying down.Eat dinner 4 hours before sleeping(this is to much important)

5. Elevating the head of the bed 8 inches

Doing this thing all the time will help you to stay healthy without reflux problem but dont forget medication as your doctor gived to you.

Hope this information is helpful to you
Best regards
