My Dentist removes tartar regularly as I have crooked teeth  .  I'm due for a deep clean mid-November

Hi loonarider, how are you doing? Still have the annoying cough? I've just had an idea, my persistent cough is probably due to Candida (thrush) although mine is not visible as white patches, it's the red type of lesion. I have taken oral ABs in February and June (for broken tooth and abscess) and they've probably messed up with my local microbiota. I think I might have pharyngitis or oesophagitis which is not visible, unless I have an endoscopy.

OOhhh ......... how about a probiotic to line the gut, I find LIVE Greek yoghurt the best.  Even my dog liked it as she had heartburn when on chemotherapy.

Love the thumbs up, don't have that 1 do I  this'll do ;-)

LIVE Greek yoghurt is good for thrush as it cleanses the whole digestive tract.  Worked 4 me after having surgery in a hurry

My dh has had a chronic cough for a bunch of years now, he sounds like he's coughing up a lung sometimes. The ENT told him it was non-acid reflux and put him on a nasal spray (Ipratropium) 2x a day, plus flush the nose with a saline rinse (Hydrosense).  It seems to trigger when he is eating, especially acidic foods like vinegar.  I wish he would go back and see his ENT because it's not settling down. Could be the change in weather is a trigger as well.

Hope you find some relief!

Hi C.C., I've been prescribed pretty much the same, corticosteroid and saline nasal sprays, but I'm not convinced it's just rhinitis. I've also noticed that acidic and spicy foods give me burning mouth and tongue. I think the weather plays a massive role in many ailments, but unfortunately we can't change it, so we have to figure out how to deal with the other stuff. Thanks for your input.

We've decided together that it ain't C-19?

Fortunately not in the night but about 10 mins after washing/dressing the clearing of throat begins.   .  .... in the last few days my throat has been sore.   . Other than strepsils any1 found anything soothing ........    I already swallow omeprazole at breakfast, may have another mid afternoon, will probably make an appt with the GP after New Year.

Have you tried Potters Mucus Throat Catarrh / Cough Pastilles? There are 2 types but both pretty similar. I am never without them. They last ages and I always have a red patch on my tongue where I have been sucking them.

[CLKD]

Tnx for that.  Not good to have a spot on the tongue though which could lead to other problems 

[DottyD68]

The red patch is just temporary  Where I have been sucking the pastille! They last a LOT longer than strepsils.

Strepsil
