Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having recurring throat infection with cough.
My response to your question is as follows.

Recurring throat infection is usually because of chronic sore throat. This is because of chronic bacterial infections. This requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Cough is because of post nasal drip and use of anti-tussive drugs and decongestant drugs will provide symptomatic relief.

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for any further questions and I will be happy to answer and assist you.

Thank you
With regards
