18 month cough

Had a persistent cough. My doctor recently recommended an endoscopy. This showed significant soreness and hiatus hernia due to the coughing. The specialist recommended anti reflux meds, raise bed head a brick height, lose weight and live with the hernia unless it gets really painful.
