Research home remedies for Chronic Bronchitis and you will find plenty of helpful information.

I use benzonatate 100mg capsules. I take it at night and in the morning. It stops the cough and and dries me up. I also use edible marijuana which also helps with the cough and keeps me calm.

Acid reflux is most likely the reason for all the coughing. I myself cant eat few hours before laying down ..or else i will be nauseated all next day. The acid backs up into our esophugus somehow.or bronchial tubes and causes an attack i take a zantac at bedtime...
