Cough: This suggests that you may be having either acid reflux or post-nasal drip with inflammatory materials collecting in the upper respiratory tract, probably the trachea. The first step would be to find out what is causing this. Control of cough could be done using an otc product containing dextromethorphan. There are several different products available. Discuss with your friendly pharmacist.
