I have had an itchy throat for about i month. I have taken different kinds of medicines over the counter and prescribed.
My doctor told me to take Zyrtec but it is not helping. Everything time i breathe in i always cough and it brings up mucus. What else can i do. This is bothering me too much.

Hello and welcome to health care magic,

You must realize that over the counter medications will not help you much. In any case since you have no relief of the symptoms for over a month now then you must definitely get an ENT consult as soon as possible.
It could be even a reflux which has to be treated under a proper guidance

get well soon
