Dry cough and itching in throat
I have been having dry cough from last few weeks, actually its like some cough got stuck in my neck. No cold , no fever. Some times I feel totally fine, but some time very bad. It start after I bath. I feel some itching in my throat, which cause cough.
I did gargle with both salt and disprin, but its still there. I took lorfast Am medicine for alergy as suggested by a doctor, but didn't work.
Any suggestiins please ?
You seem to be suffering from post viral cough which is common type of dry cough syndrome after an attack of viral upper respiratory tract infection. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. You can use dry cough syrups, strepsils like lozenges and steam inhalation for faster recovery
