For many years I suffered with a occasional but persistant coughing issue. It would happen in either late Fall or early Spring.
I presumed it was an allergy issue. It was so bad at times I went to see a pulmonologist.

This went on for years until I mentioned it to a new Primary Care Physician.

He suggested this was my issue.....

Silent acid reflux, medically known as Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR), occurs when stomach acid travels up the esophagus and irritates the throat and voice box. Unlike classic GERD, it usually doesn't cause heartburn. Instead, it presents as subtle, daily throat irritation.

Because LPR affects the upper respiratory and digestive tracts, symptoms are often mistaken for allergies, sinus issues, or a lingering cold.

He was correct.

Prescription Omeprazole 20MG DR Capsule
1 capsule twice a day, AM and then PM solved it for me.
