Asthma And Acid Reflux

I had a test esphagael, tests asthma, acid reflux medication, inhalers, but nothing works. A CT scan showed a sinus is completely blocked, but the ENT said that it would not be the cause of cough. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this or know someone who has had a prolonged cough and even what they have done for relief?

It could be allergies, if the worst is taken at night or evening and if you have a sofa to dry what could be the cause. I also have allergies, particularly dust. You should see a doctor to get tested for allergies. Treatment consists of a pill you take every day for six months and a nasal spray that you use when you come into contact with the substance or particles, you are allergic.

It resembles a post-nasal continuous infusion, caused by an allergic reaction to refined sugar and dairy products (lactose). Try to let the milk and ice cream alone, and reduce the syrup to high fructose corn from your diet. Add greens and warm, soft drinks (tea). Also, do more aerobic exercise to increase your lung capacity. The nurses used to tell parents their children with upper respiratory problems in the pool as often as possible - the combination of forced labor, breathing control and chlorinated water vapor was known for making wonders.

Chronic bronchitis with emphysema or perhaps start a fungal infection such histoplasmosis or coccidiomycosis.

TB could be tested for sure ..

Try an allergy not an ear, nose and throat. I would not be surprised if your cough is related to something in your environment that is causing your throat to be irritated.

In addition, if you can go to an allergist, try a doctor in a teaching hospital. They are generally very aware of the latest research and drugs, mainly because they are involved in the tests!

Good luck in the meantime, menthol is your BFF.

My husband had the same thing for a while, but it has also been under a lot of stress that causes symptoms such as acid reflux. It has been tested for cancer, among other things. Cancer screening were negative too.

I finally started to consider herbal suppliments that might help, since OTC and prescriptions are not. We had to, but I finally got to really start eating his meals, and taking papaya enzyme capsules. And wear a mask when he has to work outside. He still has a little cough, but it is nowhere near as bad as it was.

I'm not saying this is something for you, but it can not hurt. Get checked the conditions related to stress too. And try to find if there is something in your home or at work (such as some molds) that you may be coughing.

I had a bad cough once that lasted several months. It proved to be an infection of the tonsils, and I took antibiotics which cleared up before long. You should see a doctor.

I agree with the first olelady frm response. Tuberculosis was my guess too. Smoke-u?

You might damage your lungs caused by the mycobacterium. Had a friend who recently had the same problem. He thought it was the smoker's cough or emphysema and the doctor thought it was asthma. He was 15. Never really knew exactly what he was until he went to work at the hospital and had to undergo a TB test. It was positive but did not have active TB infection. You can not necessarily active TB infection, but perhaps the error which makes him say its just colonized. It is there, but is not active. You may have been exposed at some point and did not know and your body hidden. Have you ever had a positive test for TB? The other thing is simple, you can cogens.
