Cough and gastroesophageal reflux: From the gastroenterologist end
Pulmonary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 04/07/09

Pauwels A et al. - Treatment of GER-related cough remains challenging. So far, long term PPI treatments produce unsatisfactory results. In patients not responding to PPI, weakly acidic GER might still be the cause of cough. In these patients other therapeutic strategies i.e. abolishing all types of GER might need to be considered. Antireflux surgery has been performed successfully in a group of patients with GER-related cough. However, controlled, prospective outcome studies are necessary to confirm the role of antireflux treatments in the management of GER-related cough.
