    Hi All,
    I did some digging in the literature and found that post nasal drip, cough, especially at night and wheezing can be caused by pepsin enzymes.
    Some people like my mom have silent reflux where there are not many symptoms.
    The pepsin enzyme appears to be responsible for the attack on the mucosal lining of the esophagus and throat and not really the acid.
    An acidic environment activates this pepsin enzyme.
    Sodium alginate has been found effective in stopping this enzymes attack.
    So, I have some sodium alginate which I gave my mom 1 tsp and her post nasal drip stopped.
    She hasn't coughed, yet either.
    I will try to update if this works.

    Alginate controls heartburn in patients with erosive and nonerosive reflux disease

    I forgot to thank everyone for helping me figure this out.
