my husband has had a chronic cough for 6 mos. now.  His doctor has started him on 2 prilosec/day.  Would acid reflux cause a dry cough or productive cough?  His is productive.  Please let me know.  Thanks Miriam

I have had a chronic cough for nearly three months and have tried every over the counter drug on the market with no change.  I am going to the doctor tommorow, and will be sure to mention this blog to him, in hopes that he will keep a open mind.  Thanks so much for sharing!!!
