Thank you for posting your query.

Severe coughing is caused by irritation of your pharynx causing sore throat. You are advised to do warm water gargle, steam inhalation, drink lots of warm water to prevent dehydration and drying of throat. Take the prescribed medications and it is bound to go away in due course of time.
