Can Gerd make you cough

1 answer

Yes, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can sometimes cause a chronic cough. This is because acid from the stomach can irritate the lining of the esophagus, which can trigger a cough reflex. Other symptoms of GERD can include heartburn, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing. If you have a persistent cough along with other symptoms of GERD, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
