Hello and hope you are doing well.
For GERD along with medications, you could try life style measures. Take frequent small meals. Eat dinner about two hours before sleeping. Elevate the head end of the bed. Keep a food diary and note down what aggravates your symptoms and avoid them. Ensure to maintain optimum weight by regular exercise. Avoid non steroidal anti inflammatory medications NSAID's, quit smoking, eliminate alcohol and reduce stress levels. These measures need to be practiced long term for results.

Hello and hope you are doing well.
The other causes for your symptoms besides allergic bronchitis are GERD and post nasal drip from allergies. GERD is gastro esophageal reflux disease where the stomach acids come back into the esophagus and spill into the wind pipe causing cough and breathlessness. Treatment with antacids will help neutralize the acids. Post nasal drips can occur with sinusitis and throat infections. Giving up cigarettes will abolish the symptoms in 90% of people. Talk to your GP about the other causes for your symptoms in the meantime you could try warm salt water gargles and breathing exercises.
