Hacking cough that won't go away-should I see someone?

Hey argirl, I have had the same problem you describe. I don't have heartburn but i had this annoying cough but it's actually considered throat clearing and it's a sign of GERD. My ENT told me to try prilosec, I didn't notce too much improvement from Prilosec but now I am taking Zantac150 and it seems to be helping.
