Hello,
Symptoms of prolonged cough and sore throat, accompanied by heartburn may be caused by nasopharyngeal or gastrointestinal tract such as gastroesophageal reflux, .. . . You should bring your mother to visit ENT specialists at reputable medical facilities or hospitals of Vinmec Health System nationwide for early diagnosis and treatment.
