A member asked:
Hi. i've had a chronic cough for over 8 weeks now. had xray and no lung problems. then told reflux caused it. but treatment hasnt helped. what next?

Cough: Make sure you are taking the reflux medicine 1/2 hr before food. Post nasal drip is also a common reason for cough. Consider using a neti pot for salt water flushes of the sinuses to clear the allergy issue.
