It may be Reflux! My 1st surgery was in 2008. Cough went away after 18 yrs. I had silent reflux no symptoms but the cough and had just discovered the cough was symptoms of reflux! <br>In Apr 2016 I had Cervical Spine Surgery and dr told me he was going in the front so moved my Esphogus to one side! Well he messed up my Nissan Fundlication and now I've got cough back plus lump in my throat! Gastro giving me 2 Nexium 40 mg and 300mg 2x day! It helps some but not completely! I'll end of <br>Having surgery again but not till I Move to Jacksonville Fl in spring or summer!<br>
