A dry cough that persists for several months may be caused by conditions such as asthma, acid reflux, postnasal drip, chronic bronchitis, or side effects of certain medications (e.g., ACE inhibitors). You should consult a doctor or pulmonologist to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment. Meanwhile, avoiding irritants like smoke and dust, staying well-hydrated, and using a humidifier may help relieve symptoms.

Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus (food pipe) due to a weakened lower oesophageal sphincter. It is often triggered by overeating, obesity, certain foods (such as spicy, fatty, or acidic items), smoking, or lying down shortly after eating. Common symptoms include heartburn, regurgitation, chest discomfort, throat irritation, and difficulty swallowing. In some cases, refluxed acid can irritate the larynx (voice box) or surrounding tissues, potentially causing neck inflammation.

Cintodac Capsule, which contains Pantoprazole (a proton pump inhibitor) and Cinitapride (a prokinetic agent), may help manage acid reflux by reducing stomach acid and improving gastrointestinal motility. However, it should only be taken under a doctor's supervision, as they will consider your overall health, other medications, and any underlying conditions before prescribing it. Avoid self-medication and follow the prescribed dosage carefully.

Yes, both gastric problems and high sugar intake can contribute to acid reflux. Gastric issues, such as gastritis or delayed stomach emptying, may impair normal digestion and increase acid production. High sugar consumption may lead to weight gain and obesity, which are risk factors for acid reflux, as excess weight can put pressure on the stomach and cause its contents to flow back into the oesophagus. Managing your diet, avoiding trigger foods, and addressing underlying gastric problems can help reduce symptoms.

To manage urine reflux, lifestyle measures such as staying well-hydrated, avoiding caffeine, and practising pelvic floor exercises can be helpful. For high uric acid levels, dietary modifications, such as reducing purine-rich foods (like red meat and seafood) and increasing water intake, are recommended. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to prevent urinary tract infections or uric acid-lowering medications if needed. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to avoid complications such as kidney damage or gout.

Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus (food pipe). Common causes include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), obesity, pregnancy, hiatal hernia, certain foods, and medications. Treatment involves lifestyle changes such as avoiding trigger foods, losing weight, and elevating the head while sleeping, along with medications like antacids, H2 blockers, or proton pump inhibitors as prescribed by a doctor. In severe cases, surgical procedures like fundoplication, which involves wrapping the top of the stomach around the lower oesophagus, may be recommended.
