I second BamaGirl's advice - you need a doctor who will do tests and get this resolved. A pulmonologist, allergist, ENT, some specialist who can address this. Eleven weeks is too long to have a cough - you really need to find someone who will help you figure out what's going on.

You should also be aware that severe reflux may sometimes trigger a cough, so be sure whatever doctor you see knows you have digestive problems.

In the meantime, I find that a hot honey and lemon mixture (if your IBS can tolerate it) helps soothe a cough so I can fall asleep: 1 Tablespoon of honey, juice from about 1/8 lemon, fill mug with boiling water. Drink it as hot as you can stand it right before bedtime.

HTH.
