My chronic cough for the last 8 years has not been cured even though I;ve consulted 6 pulmonary doctors.Fist they gave me inhalents e.G,Symbicord, trivia etc. Then they said my cough was due to GERD ,the MRI on lungs was clearMRI on lungs was clear. They stopped me taking Valsartan for hyper tension thinking that was th cause of my cough. Now I'm on Alegra with Montelukast and the wretched Symbicord a favurite of all doctors I've consulted. I'm 82 years old , stopped smoking 19 rears ago and am sad that the medical science has not been of any use to me. I've tried Homeopathy without success. I am so confused.

Hi get a sputum test done to rule out TB and then check if you have any allergies. Most common allergies are dust allergy, Pollen allergy etc You can try lemon and honey without adding water on empty stomach which relieves you from cough.

Cough due to GERD is a gastroenterology problem. Because all causes for lungs have cleared you have to consult a gastroenterologist and get some specific tests,then treatment part comes.
