Why Am I Having Itchiness In My Throat?

I have had itchy throat for the last couple of months. There is no phlegm or mucus but I can't stop coughing. I had my sinuses checked and it is okay so that is notthe problem. I am taking Zyrtec D and Astepro. It seemed to work for a couple of days as it lessened the itchiness and coughing. But now it is back and I keep on coughing every few minutes to telieve the itchiness of my throat.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchiness in throat which seems to be due to upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after thorough examination. Take proper course of antibiotics such as Amoxacilliin along with antiinflammatory medication such as Levocetrizine. You should maintain complete oral hygiene. Do warm saline gargles. Avoid intake of oily food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
