Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having itching in the throat while coughing.
My response to your question is as follows.
The symptoms of itching in the throat while coughing indicate post nasal drip.
These symptoms are usually seen in case of chronic inflammations in the throat like chronic pharyngitis or chronic laryngitis. Hence examination of throat by laryngoscopy is required to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
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
