GERD and chronic cough

2017-06-20 19:46:41
Hey there, I am suffering from GERD and chronic cough from last 5 months, acid reflux is quite common. I got my X-ray done and everything was ok in the X-ray, I also got some blood tests done that was referred by my physician.. white mucus and constant cough is making me miserable.. I have been smoking for 6 years about 5 cigarettes per day in average. I have reduced the smoking to 2 cigarettes per day and trying to quit, please suggest me some over the counter medicines so that I can get a relief from GERD as well as the chronic cough. Thank you in advance Regards, Sahil Salhotra

Hello there. I can understand your concern. .the cough could be due to bronchitis. It will reduce as you quit smoking. Tab. pantakind-flux once or twice a day half an hour before food for 3 days. Consult a MD consultant physician in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
