GERD & Productive cough
by bert1981, May 01, 2009 08:42PM
I have been diagnosed with GERD. I have a constant productive cough. This has been going on for several years.
I have had the Barium Swallow, Modified Barium Swallow, upper endoscopy and chest x-ray. All look good.
I work really hard at no clearing my throat, but when I do, it is a productive cough. I am so tired due to this.
What can I do to alleviate this?
Thanks,
Bert

It sounds like u have a post nasal drip issues and an ENT may suggest a saline nasal spray.
Talk with ur dr to see if this is a viable option.
Please keep us posted

At that time, he said my throat was healthy and ordered a barium swallow. That is when the GERD was diagnosed and he sent me to a gastroenterologist. Wouldn't he have been able to tell me at that time if it was PND? Any and all help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance...
Just a quick look up ur nose and of ur throat during a normal visit to ur PCP should be a way to determine it.Mine always makes mention if it is noticed....nothing if it is not .
An OTC saline nasla spray is safe enuff to use without a dr, but I would suggest u speak to ur dr to know for sure if it is an issue.
Try and get into ur dr when u know u have PND.
Keep me posted
