Unexplained Cough - a possible answer

I love finding these tidbits .. reminders that not everything is black and white.

If you've been suffering from a cough and don't have a cold, it may be due to GERD ..
gastro esophageal reflux disease. Stomach acids come up the esophgagus and through the vocal cords. It can cause unexplained hoarseness and unexplained cough.

"But I don't feel like I've got heartburn", you say. Well, you don't have to suffer that discomfort, or have sour stomach to have GERD.

If you're dealing with the hoarseness or cough .. especially in the morning . .discuss GERD with your doctor.
