Hi I am a 58y/o black female with diagnoses of discoid lupus, arthritis, asthma, hypothyroidsm, hypertension, gerd..  I have been coughing through the years even while at work.  Now I am coughing all day with clear phlem at frequent intervals.  Very hard to stop coughing.  I have a very tangy taste to acidic after coughing up the phlem.  Food seems to stimulate the cough.  Wow I know a lot of information.  My doctors just treat the asthma, but I think there is something there that they have not figured out yet.  Meds are atenolol, plaquinil, Tylenol , tramadol, synthroid, previcid.
