A member asked:
I have this cough that will not go away and i have been coughing since i had acid reflex about a week ago what is the cause that i'm still coughing?

Still reflux?: Laryngopharyngeal reflux or LPR may be the answer. You may not feel like you have reflux all the time but you still may have a slight reflux that burns your throat a little. This continued irritation can cause you to have a continuous cough. Also a bad reflux could cause inflammation that takes a while to go away. Your cords could still be irritated from that.
