Any chronic cough patients?

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.

Through various articles I found, silent reflux can cause a host of issues, including chronic cough, post nasal drip, and even mimic asthma. I hope the next tests I have prove silent reflux, then get more effective treatment than OTC meds

Also had throat scoped by ENT
He saw acid
Put me on low dose of anti acid
Am already on low dose Prilosec
I am not familiar with the procedure or treatment you had at Mayo
Mine is pharyngeal but maybe more
Wish dr could treat in their offices like the 70s
Had many ear treatments like this fr ENT at U of Mn

Had chronic cough 1 yr
Never had before
Dr said many had from long dry snowless winter
Ribs hurt
No bronchial
Had RSV vax
Was on zpac liquid
Tylenol prescription
Now predizone because he thinks it’s more of a allergy issue ( I sweat fr this )
Just don’t enjoy coughing
Drink warm beverages
Use cold and warm packs and acupuncture
Seems like a easy thing to treat
Not
Don’t know how they tell if it’s allergic viral or bacterial but viruses can reoccur

Hi, @adkindt—welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It's a great idea to see if you can chat with others who have gone through the chronic cough clinic at Mayo Clinic. I bet there are others on Connect who have gone through chronic cough clinics or similar elsewhere, too.

I personally had a chronic cough, and the doctors I saw tested me 12-13 years ago for multiple potential causes of cough: gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), asthma, sinusitis and allergies. For a while, a gastroenterologist trialed me on GERD medication. But he finally determined I did not have GERD. The end diagnosis for me was adult-onset asthma.

I'd like to introduce you to some members who have mentioned the esophageal pH monitoring test and may have some information for you on their experiences: @auntnanny @jenblalock @tdrell @rebecross @t98. I'd also like you to meet @windwalker.

adkindt, other members have talked about the esophageal manometry test you said you have upcoming in December. Please meet @jackielb @rstel7272 @margaretmary, who may have some information on how this test goes.

How long have you had a chronic cough, adkindt? Is there anything that temporarily brings you relief?
