Laryngeal Hypersensitivity and Nerve Pain: What helps?

I have taken the nerve shots in my neck for about 2 years and have recently stopped bc they didn't really help. My symptom is chronic cough, diagnosed with laryngeal sensory neuropathy. I am scheduled to see a neurologist and a pulmonologist to see if they have any treatments. I have had this since 2017 and the cough is 24//7. The only thing that stops the cough completely is codeine cough syrup which doctors won't give prescriptions for. I have found that Zarbee's cough (etc) syrup made with elderberry helps some. As Thomas Edison said, "I haven't failed, I've found 10,000 ways that don't work." I'm on the trail of anything that can help. Good luck to you and your own search.

Hello @texanna

I'm sorry to hear of the chronic cough you are experiencing. It sounds as if you have tried many different treatments and are still without a good plan for dealing with this problem.

As you say in your post that you are "on the trail of anything that can help," I wanted to let you know about Mayo Clinic's Cough Clinic. You might it helpful to give Mayo a call and see if they think they could help you. Here is a link to information about Mayo's Cough Clinic, https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/cough-clinic/overview/ovc-20399029.

If you would like to get an appointment (either in person or virtual) here is info on the way to set up an appointment, https://www.mayoclinic.org/appointments.

I would like to hear how you are doing with this health issue. Will you post an update as you are able?
