Howard:
Can a cough productive of light yellow mucus be indicative of reflux? I
have two coughs, the dry one that I'm pretty sure is reflux, and a
productive one which has been lingering for something like 9 months. I
and my current Dr. have assumed this is some sort of respiratory thing
left over from some horrible wog I got in Ireland in September, but my
lungs are clear and x-rays and a partial CT came up clear as well.
Both coughs usually trigger from a back-throat tickle.
Never occurred to me that a productive cough could be reflux. Can you
confirm?

Sure. Cough (dry or productive), hoarseness, sore throat, "tickle", asthma
are all common extra-esophageal manifestations of GERD. Not to say that's
what is causing YOUR productive cough, but it's definitely in the
differential diagnosis.
