Woke up today and WE HAVE AN ANSWER TO MY CHRONIC COUGH as well as another symptom I have that causes violent coughing.

I took a barium swallow test back on Friday, and the results show that there's "liquid penetration into my vocal cords." This matches with another symptom I've had of "a drip I can't swallow."

They're suggesting I see a speech therapist to finally solve this.

Finally, an answer. Now for the pinched nerve.
