10 Acid Reflux Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Cough
Coughs are usually unpleasant, but often necessary. They are often a reflex response to something being in the throat that should not be there. The coughing action will help to expel the object from the throat, helping to keep the airways clear. A cough can also be caused by a wide range of illnesses.
The corrosive nature of the stomach’s juices on the esophagus can sometimes cause a cough. This, when combined with the burning already caused by acid reflux, can result in a cough that is very unpleasant indeed. Remedies are available that can help soothe the throat and relieve you of a cough.
