Because of the 'nature' of WG, the cough is one thing the docs can only guess at right now. There is the drip for those of us with messed up sinuses...nothing works there. There is the dry and irritated throat...sprays and drops help...antibiotics do NOT. I use a spray, eat lots of sugarless Ricola, drink lots of water, eat some soft foods that help coat the irritated areas...nothing works. If the docs say they can fix it, they're wrong...I've been looked at by the best of ENTs, Pulmy, Rheumy...nothing. For many of us, it is simply a reminder that we are indeed still sick and it ain't going away...sorry, not being curmudgeonly, just honest. To this extent, my cough has lessened over the last few months (nearly 2 years from dx), but it hasn't gone away, and pops up at curious times...
