Suggest Remedy For Cough

I have a cough that is caused by the feeling of a dust particle in the back of my throat. I cough to clear the throat . It is a dry cough. But one cough often leads to more immediate coughing for 6 to 8 coughs. Sinuses are clear, no mucous. Very irritating. Age 67, no allergies, and in good health. Normal weight.

Hello
As you mentioned that you are having "dry cough " and feels that something is stuck in throat . This means either some sort of allergy or throat infection .
When such type of patient visit I usually advise them to take dextromethophan + chclopheniramine maleate + guaiphenesine cough syrup ( 2-3 T S F three times in day).
Take some dextromethorphan lonzges for throat clearance .
Take some antibiotics like amoxy clavulanic acid three times in day .
This treatment will cure within 5-7 days .
Avoidance of dust , mite , pollen , molds will help . Hot coffee also provide relief .
Hope this will help you.
Still no relief within 7 days , consult a physician and get his opinion.
