What are the potential causes of a chronic, six-week nocturnal cough that has failed to respond to Montair FX, benzonatate, and levocloperastine, despite normal IgE levels and a normal pulmonary function test?

Asked by Female, 26 · 29 days ago

Since your lung function tests and IgE levels are normal, and medications like Montair FX, benzonatate, and levocloperastine haven't helped, we can look beyond typical asthma or allergies. A very common trigger for nocturnal coughs is gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) or 'silent reflux,' where stomach acid irritates your throat when lying flat. Another possibility is non-allergic post-nasal drip. I highly recommend discussing these potential causes with your doctor, who may suggest a trial of acid-reducing medication or a nasal spray. Raising your pillow slightly might also offer some comfort.
