Common Questions and Answers about Itchy throat that causes cough

itchy

Avatar n tn common for anyone who has had a recent throat infection... the throat is irritated to the point that when it's dry it has a tingling poking itch that makes you cough and gag. This will go away after the throat irritation is gone, but I've had it when I get a cold, or on dry mornings. Drinking water does not help because the dry irritation isn't resolved - usually coughing so much that the mucous builds up and your swallow will cover it - but that's hardly what anyone wants.
Avatar f tn So, since thir last post, I've had an itchy throat that initiates a dry cough on and off. Sometimes while im talking it itches more and I feel like I have to catch my breath. The pain in my back is also on and off and is felt with certain movements. Any other feedback?
Avatar f tn My throat is itchy and makes me cough which causes round ligament pain. I don't have the cold/flu, just the cough. It is bad enough that it wakes me up at night. Any ladies that know how to get rid of it? Thanks in advance.
Avatar f tn Recently I had itchy throat and sort of itching inside the nose. And doc diagnosed it as allergic rhinitis and prescribed some antibiotics as it had some infection,after that I felt like my itchy throat is not going away, he prescribed some tablets for another 10days. And I have really bad headache sometimes. Been over two months now I have cough which looks non productive but some mucus is there though. Again on antibiotics.
Avatar m tn Hello and hope you are doing well. The other causes for long term cough besides asthma are GERD and post nasal drip from allergies. GERD is gastro esophageal reflux disease where the stomach acids come back into the esophagus and spill into the wind pipe causing cough. Treatment with antacids will help neutralize the acids. Post nasal drips can occur with sinusitis and throat infections. Giving up cigarettes will abolish smoker's cough in 90% of people.
Avatar f tn asthma, Post nasal drip, and GERD. I would say that it is just best to continue working with your doctor, eventually you will figure it out.
Avatar n tn Im 13 and i have had that issue since i was 7. Just dont cough or itch it makes it worse take cough medecine (generic or prescribed) and drink water. Take long breaths and ease the itching/coughing fit. It will end in about 5 minutes depending on the severness of your cough.
Avatar n tn I get a itchy feeling in my throat, then that causes me to cough and sometimes I have to cough so hard to get it to stop. Then whatever side I get the itch on, that's what eye start running water. Also after the cough, I guess it's mucus or phlegm or however you spell it, that appears.
Avatar n tn I too have developed a chronic cough. I too have seen the ENT and was told it was acid relux and was prescribed medicine which seemed to help at first, but then did not. My cough will come and go, but never full go away. I will cough so hard I want to throw up and when talking I have rto stop and cough between words. It is getting very anoying. I also have been waking up with a horse voice which made sense with the acid reflux, however I do not think that is the right diagnosis.
Avatar f tn 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).
Avatar n tn Hello. I have been sick with a variety of ailments for almost 5 months now. Here's a quick list of the issues. 1. Sore throat, nasal thing - took amoxicillian. Cleared it up 2. Bacterial Vaginosis while pregnant - took Flagal. Cleared it up. Then got a yeast infection, which I used Monistat for. It cleared up as well. 3. Had a bad cough in November - was given an antibiotic (can't remember which), cleared it up, but I had a late term miscarriage right afterward.

Avatar m tn ve had GERD, post nasal drip, asthma and allergies all ELIMINATED as causes of my chronic cough. Codein is the only drug that helps - but codein is not a drug that one wants to use indefinitely. I've been coughing (dry tickle cough) for 12 years. They can put a man on the moon but they can't find a cure for this incredibly annoying and embarrassing condition.
390388 tn?1279636213 I do have this cough though that sometimes starts with a tickle or just pops out of no where that is so violent that it causes me to get sick. This has lasted for a few months; but, now is getting bad because it's been causing me to get sick now for the last couple of weeks. PRIOR History: My lower back has been verry sore for months and still is. I had ex-rays done and I guess my back is fine. My chest hurts and I get stabbing pains. Cardio Dr said my heart cath came out ok.
Avatar m tn It could be allergies I too have a dry cough for many weeks, scratchy throat, sore itchy eyes.Fatigue, all tests are normal ..I think its environmental as I do know each day in CA they are aerial spraying , you can ask for a heavy metal test to see if it could be something like that ..

Avatar f tn A few days went by and the sore throat subsided, I was left with post nasal drip, itchy throat, cough and a congestion for another week. Then everything subsided except the cough. Here I am at the 3 week mark and though the cough has subsided ( I still cough occasionally, dry non-productive like before) my throat is super dry and the itch in the back of the throat is worse, I check in the mirror and see white patches in the back of my throat! not good.. What is going on??
