Doctors’ responses
Investigation: Chest X-ray PA view Spirometry (lung function test) Upper GI endoscopy (if reflux symptoms severe ) CBC + Absolute eosinophil count + Serum IgE
Your symptoms are most likely due to acid reflux aggravating the throat and airways, along with allergic cough. You need chest X-ray, spirometry, and possibly endoscopy. Start acid suppression and anti-allergy treatment, plus lifestyle changes. Relief may take 2–4 weeks.
Thanks sir

Chronic dry cough accompanied by vomiting and acidic mucus over several months can be quite uncomfortable and might indicate a number of underlying causes. It’s important to get a proper diagnosis because the management will depend widely on identifying the root cause. First, it might be worth investigating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), as this condition often involves a backflow of acid that could irritate the throat and may cause coughing and vomiting. Additionally, postnasal drip, asthma, or even chronic sinusitis could contribute to your symptoms. For diagnostics, consider seeing a healthcare professional for tests including a chest X-ray to rule out any lung-related conditions, and an upper GI endoscopy to evaluate for GERD or related issues. A pH monitoring test to assess acid levels might also be advisable. In terms of treatment, while Montelukast can help some people with allergy-induced coughing, evaluating whether a proton-pump inhibitor like omeprazole or a histamine-2 blocker might relieve symptoms is worth discussing with your doctor. Also, modifications to your diet, such as avoiding spicy and acidic foods, eating smaller meals, and not lying down immediately after eating, could help reduce reflux symptoms. If your dry cough is due to asthma, inhalers like a corticosteroid or a bronchodilator might be prescribed. Staying hydrated and using a humidifier can sometimes reduce coughing severity. Importantly, if symptoms persist or worsen, it’s critical to follow up with a healthcare provider to ensure proper management and to look for other potential causes.
