I as well being dealing with chronic cough for years. Gone to all specialist and no trouble found. The latest.. my allergist wants me to try is Trezpire injections. Reading side effects I’m terrified! Has anyone tried it and did it helped? Thank you much!

I have seen all the specialists you have seen with no luck at all. However after buying the book The Chronic Cough Enigma by Dr. Jamie Koufman I started to put the pieces together. Plus my asthma doctor came up with the same possible diagnosis...laryngeal cough or sensory neuropathic cough (both are the same thing I think). So I have been referred to a neurologist. We have a doctor shortage so I made an appointment with a PA in November and the neurologist in April, 2026. I have no idea how they will treat this horrible cough I have had for 20+ years. I understand there is a nerve block and there is also medication.

What I do to help is keep cough drops with me at all times. I use the Fisherman's Friend brand and also Manuka cough drops. It helps to drink carbonated beverages too. My rescue inhaler for asthma helps too, but I have to use it multiple times a day. I dread going places because a coughing fit could happen at any time.

What didn't work for me is speech therapy. I went through that twice and it didn't help at all. I must have gone through multiple scans, tests, etc. with not one bit of luck.

Last fall I got a really bad chest cold and then got bronchitis. The cough seemed to get quite a bit worse after that and never got any better.

Hello.

I was so happy to find this group. I have been suffering with a chronic cough for over 20 years. Also going to multiple ENTs, allergists, gastroenterologists, and pulmonologists. Finally this year an otolaryngologist diagnosed me with a neurogenic cough. First she gave me two injections in my neck with did not help at all. Then she put me on the Tramadol, which worked, but she told me it wasn't a long term solution, and her diagnosis was proven by it working. Then she but me on 25 mg of Amitritiptyline, worked some, then she raised it to 50 mg, and the cough was almost gone! We were both so excited, and she said I didn't have to see her for 6 months. It was live changing! Well, less than a month later, my cough is coming back. I am so upset and frustrated to say the least. Cough drops do help a bit, but sometimes, not so much. It is so anxiety producing when you are in public. Especially during COVID! Do you think I'm better off seeing a neurologist? I feel that the treatment is the same anyway. Going to have to make a follow up appointment with the Otolaryngologist.
