I have always been like this, when I stay overseas, well most of iot is either onboard a cruise ship and in Hongkong, I feel just fine but few weeks after I got home to Manila, I develop a dry itchy throat coughing and it embarasses me in my new office.

My nose is very congested most of the time. I have a dry chocking cough. I cough a lot when I feel an inside drift to my throat. I have a bad case of sinusitis too I think. My nose hurts a lot when the weather is cold and the pain goes away when I drink hot water. I am taking Reactine 20mg and I spray Nasonex in my nose. I also rinse my nose with NeilMed sinus rinse (saline solution). The sinus rinse helps a lot. I do it twice a day.

Hi, I recently moved to Florida and appear to be suffering from allergies. People have told me that the new area may be what's causing the problem. Last year I got sick twice and both times people were saying allergies could've been the culprit. This year (in early January) I started with an itchy throat. Back in December I had a problem with my ears itching (I assumed they were just dry and used Mineral Oil to ease the itching).

I have a persistent cough for about 5 days now, and it gets worse in the night, I do not produce brown or yellow thick mucus instead of clear like saliva mucus. I took Robitussin for cough in the day but in the night when I took Robittusin for night time it only last for 3 hours and I start cough again. My throat is so itchy. We have cold humidifier on and I do not have any fever.

The volume is not enough to induce coughing, I just feel it sometimes when I swallow. The sensation in the throat ranges from dryness to mild soreness. Some days are much better than others, sometimes hardly noticeable. It's generally worst in the mornings. To be clear, I feel the irritation only in the upper back area of the mouth, not down the esophagus. Drinking water and saltwater gargling help, but this thing never really goes away.

I developed a cough later, and have recently had an itchy throat with sinus drainage. This morning I woke up and the rash had spread to my palms, the tops of my hands and my arms. The skin is smooth to the touch and isn't raised any higher no sores... just itchy red spots on my thighs, hands and lower arms. I went to the health center today and my doctor said the rash may be caused by strep throat, but I am concerned that this is not the case. What could be the problem?

Try taking a spoonful of honey with lemon to soothe your throat or drink tea. If the cough persists, I would see the doctor, maybe they could recommend something.

For I too have had this horrible itchy cough accompanied (sometimes) by an inflamed throat that comes and goes. The itchy coughing is especially present at night or when it's getting be evening around 5 pm. The docs keep prescribing medication that won't really help.

I had a cold virus in mid December and was feeling much better by New Years, but this itchy throat and cough started up and won't stop. I'm on line trying to find if anyone else has found a solution. It doesn't seem to start until late afternoon and is worst during the night. Most nights I just sleep in the lounge chair. I usually take a dose of NyQuil and gargle with saline and then have my lozenges ready when I have an attack.

But it has other associated signs and symptoms such as cough, runny nose, inflamed eyes, sore throat, fever and a red, blotchy skin rash. Hives or urticaria causes red and sometimes itchy rash on the body such as face, neck, trunk, arms, and legs and perhaps anywhere on the body. They are usually allergic (food, medication and insect stings) but may also be due to infections and stress. Many a times no specific cause for them is ever found.

However, he is still coughing and the vet has not been able to give me a good explanation for his persistent cough. She has stated that it "could be related to his thyroid".

Meanwhile, a friend has been researching canine coughs on the web and thinks that Jake could be affected by second hand smoke. Is this a possibility?

This was not common for me when I wasn't pregnant unless I had a cold. A few weeks back I also had a very itchy throat with a persistent dry cough. I thought I was just fighting something off. I've had a humidifier going in my room ever since, and now it is definitely back. I don't feel sick otherwise. I was just wondering if anyone else experienced this or possibly the onset of allergies during pregnancy?

I've had an itchy cough for just over two weeks now, which has been steadily getting worse. It started at around midday with a bout of intense itchiness in my throat that made me cough to the point of retching. After a few minutes, the feeling dissappeared. However, that night my throat got slightly itchy again and the feeling has been getting stronger ever since. I now have a sore throat and a slightly inflamed right tonsil as well as the itch.

It is worst during the Pollen season and assuming it was an allergy to pollen I was given a complete course of Pollinex Rye and Hay vaccines in 2006, which apparently did not help as the itchy nose, puffed eyes and cough are still persisting during the current Pollen season. Regardless of the season however the cough has become an integral part of my identity and people who know me can gauge my presence by my cough on the stairs or even in supermarkets.

Pertussis in previously immunized individuals is usually characterized by an atypical and relatively mild clinical course. Patients suffer mainly from a prolonged and persistent cough. Early diagnosis may lead to prompt administration of therapy. Prophylaxis of exposed persons might be effective in decreasing both severity and transmission of the disease." Please stay away from infants and young children until you are well, just to be on the safe side.

I have not coughed up blood since, but my throat has been really itchy and irritated. I have recently had a barium swallow done to check for acid reflux, but I have not heard back from my doctor about the results. The barium swallow also caused a lot of issues (stomach burning/upset) and I am still experiencing issues from it two days after.

One possible cause is an allergic reaction to a birth control pill I started taking on Sunday (10/18/09), but it's been about five days since then and I haven't felt anything else unusual. The symptoms of the cold I have are mild sore throat, runny nose, cough, fatigue, and mild upset stomach. I took an antihistamine and used lotion on my skin an hour ago, and neither have had much effect. I am 17 years old and female. Thanks for any feedback!

i recently came down with what I thought was a cold and experienced extremely bad symptoms (coughing, wheezing, itchy, watery eyes, congestion) the whole bit! This was probably the worst "cold/flu" virus that I have had in my lifetime. I'm 32. Turns out about a week and a half later - I started to get twitching in my left eye and the muscles in the left side of my face started to weaken. During this time I also experience itchiness in my left ear, back roof of my mouth/throat.

Sore throat at base of tongue (almost feels like an ulcer on the tongue), scalloped tongue, mild ear pain/itchiness--all this on the left--some hoarseness and coughing. ENT said he saw absolutely nothing upon scoping the throat. No blood work was done. Have a followup in 3 weeks. This is just exhausting to me. I mentioned thyroid at the ENT, nurse said that swelling/symptoms are usually lower, under Adam's apple. My throat is a bit swollen on left side, left of Adam's apple and a bit above.

No usual signs of allergic reaction, no urticaria, itchiness, redness, coughing or sneezing. At times it has seemed to get worse when I've smoked, and at other times that has seemed to help. The only new introductions to my diet are barbeque chips (which I've eaten many times before) and slimfast (which I've also had before). Have a dog, but I've had her since the first of the year.
