Possible Reflux: GERD is one of the most common causes of a persistent cough. In fact, researchers at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine estimate that GERD is responsible for over 25 percent of all cases of chronic cough. The majority of people with a GERD-induced cough don’t have classic symptoms of the disease such as heartburn. http://www.healthline.com/health/gerd/coughing#overview1
