Cough and subsequent pulled muscle from LPR?

Hi all,
I've had a resurgence of LPR and with it, a constant cough.

For past few days I've been unable to get comfortable, or sleep--I think I pulled muscle in side, from coughing. Has anyone done this? Advil doesn't help much.

I know the trick is to stop coughing, but can OTC med be ok for this (prilosec--do NOT want to be on it long term) or even cough medicine?

The pain is pretty bad. I'm at my wits' end. Thanks for any advice.

So, cough medicine can be effective and ok for a GERD/LPR cough?

I was never on Prilosec, just thought maybe it might help symptoms for a few days while back heals...I hope you realize it's not the answer to our woes, long-term, and is not effective for LPR.

It definitely is. My gut tells me so...My gut is always angry when I get the reflux (I'm guessing my digestion is root of problem). Thank you, though!
