Suggest Treatment For Cough And Itchy Throat
Question: Suffering with cough with irritation and itching in throat. Problem while swallowing.
Brief Answer:
Most probably suffering from the chronic pharyngitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,
I have gone through your query; and suggest you that most probably you may be suffering from the chronic pharyngitis and swallowing problem may be due to the acute exacerbation of chronic pharyngitis.
In this condition I personally suggest you that you may go for the throat swab culture and antibiotic sensitivity for prescription of proper antibiotic.
But to rule out other disease and for better management you may go for
1. Oral examination to rule out tonsillitis and for type of pharyngitis.
2. Anterior rhinoscopy and posterior rhinoscopy for any nasal disease.
3. Avoid cold drinks, cold water and ice cream.
Wish you good health.
Thanks
