Could Dry, Tickly Throat With Cough After Drinking Cold Water Be Pharyngitis?
I am 60 years old, height 1.81 m with weight 75 kgs.
During summer I always take cold water from fridge.
almost whole day ther is dry ness and tickling in throat which leads to coughin with no sputam. This problem is worse at morning , during night and after taking cold water. the symptoms are for 5-7 days. If any anti allergen like citrazine is taken, ther is relief. i have histroy of sinocytis. Looks like pharyngtis.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Dry, tickly throat with a cough after drinking cold water could be pharyngitis. My advice are :
- Do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day.
- Avoid spicy and heavy meals.
- Take steam inhalation on daily basis.
- Eat at least one hour before going to bed.
- Take Benadryl for allergy.
Consult ENT specialist once for proper evaluation and treatment. The doctor may order a throat swab test or blood test . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics or antiviral depending upon your condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
