question: I have a persistent cough, burping and congestion feeling in my chest. It has been on and off for about a month. Thought it might be my asthma. Got new inhalers. But still getting the constant cough and burping every now and then especially after meals. It feels the worse at night and when I first get up. Not sure if it is GERD because I don t get the acidic burn in my throat. Any ideas.
