Thank you for reading...My Mom has had a chronic cough for nearly 20 years. Sometimes dry, but usually not. She has also recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's...not sure if the 2 are related. She has tried EVERYTHING and seen numerous specialists from the lung institute in CO to Mayo Clinic in MN and AZ. The only thing that helped was an anti depressant which slowed the cough down for a short period of time. Righ before the Parkinson's hit last year the cough disappeared but quickly came back when the Parkinson's medicine began. We've tried Mucinex, prescriptions, steroids, Mullein Leaf, everything imaginable and the cough is still there...daytime, nighttime...Thyroid, chest xrays etc show nothing...any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much...
