What Causes Severe Cough While Lying Down?
Hello! My mother, 91 yo, is suffering from severe coughing, especially when she is to lie down. Consulted an EENT, said it was just allergies. Lungs are clear. When she is coughing there is a small amount of phelgm. She is taking Diltiazem and Norvasc, Cetirizine for allergies. We are in a quandry if we need to bring her to a pulmonologist? Thank you!

Hello,
As you explain the history it might be a gastric reflux.
Please discuss with her doctor to do a gastroscopy.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
