It's not a cold, but I've had a dry cough for several months that won't stop.

It is a symptom of reflux laryngitis, which occurs when stomach acid irritates the laryngopharynx and bronchi.

만성 기침의 주요 원인 중 하나가 바로 역류성 식도염입니다. 위산이 식도를 넘어 인후두와 기관지까지 미세하게 역류하여 자극을 줍니다.

  • 증상: 가래 없는 마른 기침, 목이 간질간질함, 목소리 잠김
  • 특징: 밤에 자려고 누울 때나 아침 기상 시 심해짐
  • 치료: 감기약이나 기침약으로 호전되지 않으면 위장 치료가 필요
💡 팁

기침 때문에 복압이 높아져 역류가 더 심해지는 악순환이 생길 수 있습니다.
