My dad (55) was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s in 2019 and has lived with me (daughter) for around 6 months. He developed an anxious cough early last year but it has got much worse recently - around every 20 seconds whilst he’s awake. If he’s preoccupied it goes away but as soon as he is sat watching the TV it is persistent. If we go anywhere and a person walks near us, he coughs. With the current pandemic he gets a lot of looks as he obviously at 55 does not look as if he has Alzheimer’s. I recently spoke to his neurologist and he advised anti anxiety meds but his GP says they don’t think it’s a good idea. I have tried giving him lots of water, cough sweets and getting him to let out a big cough but he starts again 20 seconds later. Is there anything else I can try or even know someone that has this? The GP says he’s her youngest patient with Alzheimer’s so hasn’t got many suggestions with his whole condition
