What Is The Remedy For The Chronic Cough Having Acid Reflux And Treated For Sinus Drainage?

I have had a chronic cough for almost 2 years. I am being treated for acid reflux, the ENT specialist sees no reflux problems in my throat. I have had speech therapy and also tried treatment for sinus drainage. I am 59 and have gone thru menopause. I am 5 7 and weigh 162 lbs. I exercise daily and eat a healthy diet. Its keeps me awake at night and is very embarrassing in public. I am not sure what else to try. Any ideas? I have changed all my blood pressure meds to see if they could be the problem.

You may be having bronchitis or inflammation of your lower airway , which will cause cough .I would like you to meet your chest physician , who will examine you and may ask you to do a chest xray and guide you further.

Thanks
