Dry Cough Turns Into Choking Spell, Feels Something Stuck In Throat. Diagnosed Allergy. Will Azithral Help?
when my boyfriend coughs it sometimes turns into a choking spell. It worries me. Doesnt happen all the time but its a dry cough and he says it feels like something is stuck in his throat. He went to a specialist in spain where he lives and the dr said it was allergies. I think there is something else wrong. Do you think a round of azithral 500 would help him

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Dry , hacking cough , running nose , tears in eyes, itching over face, sneezing , irritation in throat all are symptoms of allergy.
Choking in throat may be due to allergy with added infection ,azithromycin 500 mg (azithral) will only cure throat infection ( if infection is the cause of choking then patient will get relief).
If choking is due to allergy or other reason as hyper acidity then you will have to consult a physician and get his opinion.
Antiseptic lozenges will provide relief in choking sensation for sometime( alternatively hot saline gargles).
Good luck.
