Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your cough cold and tickle in throat which seems to be due to upper respiratory tract infection or poor immunity of body. Infection may spreading to larynx region as well leading to inflammation of vocal cords if not treated . Tickle in throat cana also be due to infection , acid reflux or nerve dysfunction , for that apply warm compresses on throat . Avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages. Avoid intake of sharp spicy food. You should apply mist humidifiers in room and take throat lozenges. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist without any delay . Doctor may order blood test , throat swab test or virus culture test. You should get an x ray of the chest and Immunoglobulin G levels checked for further treatment. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics amoxicillin or penicillin at least for 10 days along with decongestants and mucolytic agents .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
