Hi
Looking at your symptoms it seems to be a case of GERD gastrointestinal esophageal reflux disease
Stomach acid reflexes back to oesophagus and throat which produces itchy throat and thick saliva and sometimes vomiting
because of constant throat irritation it produces cough
I would advise in such a case to take tab pantoprazole 40 mg with antacids to reduce hyperacidity
warm saline gargles and steam inhalation to avoid cough
Hope this helps you
take care
