Abstract

Cough is an important defensive reflex of the respiratory tract needed to clear and protect the upper airways, but it may become exaggerated and interfere quality of life. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the three most common causes of chronic unexplained cough. Diagnosing GERD related cough is challenging since many patients do not have esophagitis or an increased esophageal acid exposure during 24 h esophageal pH-metry. We treated two patients who had chronic cough, these subjects were diagnosed as Sikjeoksu (Shijisou, 食積嗽) and was administered Pyeongjingeonbi-tang (Pingchenjianpi-tang, 平陳健脾湯). First case had stuffiness below the heart and acid regurgitation with cough, but second case only had cough. After treatment, cough and other symptoms were improved. It showed that we must consider GERD on chronic cough patients.
