[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 651492, member: 1233"] The stomach acid may be causing the cough. GERD (stomach acid in the esophagus) is a major undiagnosed cause of chronic coughs. I think thank you's recent coughing (and regular winter coughing every year) is due to this. I was reading through some stuff from his allergist recently and noticed the recommendation to take nexium or prevacid if the cough is bad. Six days on lansoprozole (prevacid OTC) and it is almost gone where it was an all night thing for most of the winter. So he will be staying on it for a while. The acid irritates the nerves that can trigger coughing, so the stress can be the cause of the cough too. Take a deep breath, focus on other things, and let the doctor do the worrying! [/QUOTE]
