Constant coughing
I had flu about a month back. Everything is cured, except my coughing. It just doesn't go. Warm water, gargles, steam inhalation, nothing seems to work. It's like a constant dry itch at the base of the throat, and it gets irritated with talking or eating something hot or spicy. Some days it is less on its own, and on other days it's so bad it won't stop.
