I have seen many doctors and had all the tests through the years. It is caused by Gerd (but no heartburn); postnasal drip;and a very sensitive throat. I have been taking Pantaloc for 3years but it has not helped the chronic cough. I would like to get off the Pantaloc but my doctor doesn't like the idea of surgery?  I have tried to follow diet restrictions as well... http://www.healthcentral.com/acid-reflux/c/66101/21301/chronic-cough http://www.healthcentral.com/acid-reflux/c/66101/21288/type-drug Sat, 08 Mar 2008 16:17:00 -0500 PD I have a chronic cough caused partly by acid reflux. Pantaloc does not seem to help. Would switching to prilosec help? http://www.healthcentral.com/acid-reflux/c/66101/21288/type-drug
