Problem description: My father always coughs dry cough without phlegm, and has itchy throat and quit smoking for almost 17 years. He coughs when he asks about the smell of smoke, or he coughs when he smells cooking. I don’t cough much during the day, especially at night. Many examinations were done, only one showed mild gastroesophageal reflux. We also take a lot of drugs for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux. Still coughing, and coughing after nebulization.

Question analysis: I think the patient is not gastroesophageal reflux. Be careful with allergic cough and upper airway cough syndrome, and also exclude cough variant asthma.
Guidelines: Have you ever done a lung function test? You can take Huifening syrup and add loratadine at night.
