A member asked:
Endoscopy 6 years ago found severe erosion of esophagus, h pyloric and large amount of acid. now have chronic cough for years, especially at night.

LPR...: Your chronic cough might be a symptom of LPR (laryngopharyngeal reflux). This is caused by reflux and regurgitation of stomach contents and acid all the way up the esophagus until it spills over into the larynx and irritates the vocal cords and bronchial tubes. Treatment includes acid suppressive therapy with ppi type drugs e.g. Prilosec, along with diet and lifestyle changes.
