Coughing? Is it reflux or just a cough?

About ten days my allergies started acting up. First my eyes were itchy and watery and then my head got stuffed up. Then I got a horrible cough and lost my voice completely.

When I got my fill last week the doc warned me that a cough can be a sign of reflux but I told him I've been sick with my allergies so he said okay just keep an eye on it.

My voice is back and I'm feeling better but I still have a slight cough here and there. It feels like the normal cough I would have with my allergies but if you had reflux from your band being too tight wouldn't you have other problems besides a mild cough?

Edited to add: yesterday I had a stuck episode and I threw up a little. For about 2 hours after I threw up I did have acid reflux. I could feel the acid. I assumed that's normal but is it?

No answers, but I have been having very bad reflux and the coughing/choking has me up all night. I had an unfill in November and it was better, but I imagine when I go see doc next week I will have more unfill...Keep an eye on it
