What medication or remedy can I take for a week-long constant cough, chest stuffiness, back pain, and stomach trouble that I think might be acid reflux rather than a chest cold?
It is actually quite common for acid reflux to cause a persistent cough, chest tightness, and even back discomfort. To help soothe your stomach and reduce acid, you might try an over-the-counter H2 blocker like famotidine. Elevating your head while sleeping and avoiding lying down for three hours after eating can also provide significant relief. For the chest stuffiness, an expectorant like guaifenesin can help loosen any mucus. Please stay hydrated and rest. Since these symptoms have lasted a week, it is best to consult a healthcare provider to ensure you get the right diagnosis and treatment plan.
