I am having cough which came after cold. It is not going away since 2 months. No phlegm. Only dry cough which comes now and then. I have consulted doctor and he gave me medicines for gerd. 1st time he gave me rabiwok dsr for day time and nexpro fast for night along with gaviscon syrup for 3 times after meals. The cough had gone after that. After 2 months again I met with cold. After cold again cough came and it doesn't going away. After that another time he gave me hp kit for 14 days along with sucrafil o syrup and tossex syrup. But cough is not going away. There is no other symptoms except dry cough. If it is gerd why does cough only comes whenever I met with cold? Also he said my lungs are perfect with having 98% oxygen saturation. What can I do now? Please help. There is always feels like irritation in my that. Please help.

Dear Lybrate user, night coughs (mimicking asthma attacks) are sometimes caused by reflux disease (gerd), since you got relief, hence your doctor was absolutely right. Now you are not getting relief, so you need to get a cbc esr blood test and a chest x ray to confirm the diagnosis. Oxygen saturation (spo2) tells about oxygen saturation in blood, it can be near normal in early stages of lung diseases. You can upload your cbc & x ray report on Lybrate forum for further advice. Wishing you speedy recovery.
