Why Would Someone Have Persistent Cough For Several Years Despite Administering Allegra-D And Nasal Spray?

ENt says I have esophageal reflux prescribed 4 or 5 prescriptions. Pulmonologist says it is allergies and prescribed nose spray and prescription Allegra. D. Have had persistent cough for more than several years. Cough all night and good portion of day.. It is life altering. Nothing has helped. Where do I go from here? Thank you

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent cough which is due to chronic lung infection or bronchitis. Need not to worry much. I would suggest you to visit pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should go for pulmonary function tests and x-ray chest as well to check exact level of infection. Start treatment only after proper prescription. Drink plenty of water. Do Not lay in bed immediately after having food as it will leads to formation of excess acid. Take hot milk rich in turmeric as it will boost immunity. You need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine drug. You should use mist humidifiers in room. You should take cough expectorants as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
