Cough and Thyroid Function
Having irritating dry cough since one month. Irritation feeling at throat.
I am taking Thyronorm 88 mcg since six months.
Now my TSH is 0.5 .
Did not see any doctor yet.
Could there be any connection between low normal TSH and cough.

There is no direct connection between cough and thyroid function. The belief that thyroid issues cause throat irritation is unfounded. Coughing may result from various factors, including acid reflux or postnasal drip due to sinus discharge.
