The majority of people with a GERD-induced cough donât have classic symptoms of the disease such as heartburn. Chronic cough can be caused by acid reflux or the reflux of nonacidic stomach contents. Some clues as to whether a chronic cough is caused by GERD include: coughing mostly at night or after a meal.

If your increased coughing is caused by a co-morbidity, antibiotics or medications can be used to get you back to your baseline. Donât make any assumptions, thoughâspeak to your doctor, who will make a diagnosis and prescribe you the right medication.
