Cough, scratchy chest and throat clearing

Hi All,

I've had cough variant asthma for 18 years. I'm 37 now, on 4x 160mg circlesonide steroid inhaler daily, but I just can't shift the cough and constant throat clearing. I've had more tests than I can write about and the only comorbidity the can find is reflux, which is controlled with Omeprazol

I hope friends here will help me to find ways to improve/get rid of the cough and throat clearing. Any ideas would be most welcome. I wonder for example if I need to take higher dosage or steroids, perhaps even oral steroids?

Thankyou so much for any help you might offer.

Best wishes,

Allan
