Hi guys I have persistent cough issue since 2017.

Ruled out TB, and symptom my throat is everlasting dry.

Tried one specialist in private hospital but found no issue with using the optical tube device down the throat.

Since its end of the year and I can utilize my allowance quota,

Any suggestion for good throat specialist in KV?

Have already done TB check first at Sg Buloh TB centre in late 2018 as that was my biggest worry.

wasnt able to have sputum analysis due to throat too dry cannot generate sputum.

So just only had xray and blood test analysis, the doctors then ruled out TB as they said my lung looks clear.

My other next big concern is any tumor or cancer risk, which havent really check yet. So Im thinking to ask ENT about this, on this round of visit.

Thank you for the advises. Booked an appointment with ENT specialist at UMSC next week.

The ENT professor (Female Indian) prescribed me Omeprazole (Sandoz brand).

Somehow I dont feel gastric symptom at my stomach, but this pill really controlled my cough immediately on the first day I had it.

According to the professor its possible the stomach acid crept up to the esophagus tract and affect the throat causing the cough (or something like that).

initially i take the pills daily

then after few months I am confident the cough are under control and now I take the pill only when I had the cough again (which happen only like 1 or 2 times a week).

The effect of the pill is nearly instantaneous, so I am satisfied with this particular type of GERD medicine and its brand.

nope, in my case, I dont experience smelly breath, if that's the related symptom you're referring to
only dry throat
