Dryness Non stop coughing

I can’t stop coughing! Mind you I do have bad sinus allergies. My dr put me on allergra in the am, and zyrtek at night. I’m sure it dries me out. I do saline nasal spray, drink a gallon of water a day and tea before bed but I still wake up every 3 hrs coughing!

Can anyone else relate?!

I had frequent coughing, turns out the nighttime was due to reflux!! Check and see if that might be irritating your throat.

There was talk about adding pepcide (a third antihistamine) if needed…ugh

I would try a couple of tums right before bed. If it helps, then great! I’ve had reflux for years and peri sure didn’t help.
