Reply to "Cough related to crohns/pouch"

I doubt it has anything to do with Crohn's or J Pouch but could be related to autoimmune disorder. As I have written elsewhere I have been diagnosed with inflammatory airway disease with essentially the same symptoms you are describing which started after a bout with viral pneumonia back in April 2019 and has persisted ever since. They are calling it non allergic chronic rhinitis. Most likely the cause is viral in nature. All of us get infected with viruses other than Covid that cause changes in our bodies that are not for the better. Half the adult population has HPV which is a sexually transmitted virus that causes throat cancer. There are numerous other viruses that could cause the condition you have. In my case it's being treated with steroid and antihistamine nasal sprays and I would suggest you should pursue such treatment if you have not already done so. I had numerous breathing tests and a bronchoscopy and it all came back normal but still have the cough/trouble clearing my throat.
