Hi @coughmaster35 Just jumping in to add my welcome to Mayo Connect along with @IndianaScott. But I’m heading off in a different direction and wondering if you’ve been to see your doctor about what is causing your coughing?
It might be as simple as post nasal drip causing this to happen or acid reflux which are both treatable. Anytime we have a prolonged cough that is disruptive to a lifestyle, bringing on the need for a “new normal” is worth getting checked out.
I’ve had similar episodes myself as yours and it came from a medication I was on, causing post nasal drip. I was able to take Benadryl to dry up excess drainage when it became challenging. It has since cleared up but it was really inconvenient not knowing when a cough attack was going to happen.

Have to talked this over with your primary care doctor, allergist or ENT?
