Chronic cough: What helped you?

I get you. Same story here except no deviated septum. I don’t avoid public places but I am very self conscious too, always explaining myself. Sometimes I just wear a mask. Eating out with people I am so sure they are annoyed but are trying to be understanding. We’re all looking for solutions to this multi factorial ailment and I have read that there is medication in the research pipeline for LPR which would be so magnificent. In the meantime trying to avoid stress and known triggers, and continually researching LPR is all I can come up with.
Empathizing with all of you chronic cough sufferers.

@wendymb~ Interesting thoughts Wendy. I too avoided large people gathering especially during COVID as I didn't want to frighten people, & I tired of explaining "it's not contagious, it's a chronic Post Nasal Drip that triggers my cough. " In spite of all the different MDs I have seen for this, & all the Nasal sprays & RX I have been offered & tried, the one thing I think that helps me most is Mucinex. which is over the counter to purchase. It doesn't clear it up, or make it go away, but it does buy me a few hours with out coughing constantly.
