Any chronic cough patients?

Posted by adkindt @adkindt, Nov 24, 2024

Hello, chronic cough patient, Ajay through one round of testing at Mayo. Back in December for 2 GI procedures. If anyone has had the Ph test and/or manometry for chronic cough, I'd love to hear your experience. Thanks

My brother went to a great Respiratory Dr after many treatments that never worked and he suffered until he started getting injections in tummy every 2 weeks for this allergic reaction. Non stop cough my poor brother & he’s okay now! See a Respiratory Dr & ask about allergy or vagus nerve but mention injection on tummy every week then every / weeks etc. A nurse comes to hive it but anyone can be taught to do it themselves. He’s a new man. God love him. Keep searching allergies bad immune system cough so bad. It’s to build immune system. Immunotherapy not sure but Respiratory Dr figured it out without allergy testing.. miracles happen. Not sure if that’s your issue but keep searching.

@cherbear - what was the injection your brother has gotten in his tummy that helped his coughing?

So, I had the esophageal manometry and h monitoring. The manometry was first, very uncomfortable tube, made my eyes water. They said I did well. Didn't gag or vomit. Lol. Swallowing and esophageal sphincter normal. The ph tube is much smaller. It's weird having that tube in your throat and eating and drinking. Turns out I do not have GERD. So, in February I will see an ENT at Mayo for them to take my chronic cough source.

@adkindt - how are you doing? Did your doctors figure out the source of your coughing?
