To begin an etching, an artist must first coat a blank copper plate with wax. Using a steel needle, she draws her intended picture through the wax and onto the metal. The metal is then submerged into a bath of acid and left for about two hours.
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.
One sensible explanation for this would be that cold beverages and foods cause a drying out of the respiratory lining making it susceptible to infections and triggering coughing due to irritation. 2. Avoid overeating at night: Having a heavy dinner at night or overeating can be a cough trigger for people suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). People with GERD may have poor coordination between contraction and relaxation of the sphincter muscle that prevents reflux of food to the esophagus.
