What Causes Tickling Sensation In The Throat Followed By Cough?
For the past two week, several times during the day I get a tickle on the left side, toward the back of my throat , then I have to cough. My throat is fine the rest of the time, no pain. A month and a half ago, I had a bad cold and sinus infection, and it was the,left sinus that was affected. Could the left sinus still be healing and slow dripping? Thank you! Dianne

Hi welcome to the health care magic
Yes it could be still because of sinusitis affection
If needed pns x ray can be done
Steam inhalation with added eucalyptus oil in hot water done daily
Vitamin C lozenges useful
Salt water gargle done
Avoid excess spicy foods and fried foods
If you are not improving than throat swab taken for culture
Take care
Consult physician for examination and further work up
