I have had a dry cough and constant need to clear my throat for 5 weeks now. I have had a medrol dose pack, followed by almost 3 weeks of Prednisone with 2 days left. Also now on a prescription cough medicine that is supposed to inhibit the reflex to cough. While it dulls it a little, it is still chronic. I also use Advair for asthma, and a rescue inhaler as needed. No one around me has caught this, so I don't think contagious.
I know MS can affect swallowing. So I was wondering if it is also known to affect this cough reflex?
Going to schedule with an ENT since nothing seems to be working and the cough is really wearing me down. On the plus side, I can clear a checkout line really quickly. Nobody wants to be near me.
Any thoughts?
