Dry cough and itching in throat
I have very bad dry cough from last one week. I consulted a doctors but not yet recovered. Doctors told to do blood tests which i think are not necessary since i don't suffer from any of the symptoms other than cough. Doctor to lungs xray and reports are normal. Should i go for blood tests? I am having only dry cough but it made me very weak since i gets vomiting after eating due to coughing very much.
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
