Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
Dry cough is common side effect associated with it but throat itching as side effect is not known. I would suggest you not to stop the agent by yourself. I suggest you to consult doctor before doing so.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely,
