How To Overcome The Coughing And Dryness In My Throat?

Cough lying down with gagging; cough up sputum white and sometimes black. Must eat straight up and can only eat soft foods, otherwise choke. Can't breathe - feel dryness in throat and when try to clear doesn't happen. Always feels like something in throat - always trying to clear it with no success.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem this could be allergic cough and harassing greatly I would advise you to take "Levocetrizine" tab. three times in day have hot drinks, drink plenty off water if this does not give relief then you can have steroid "Prednisolone" 10 mg three times in day in tapering dose cut down the dose every after three day, like make it twice in day after third day like visa versa ( Remember steroid can only be started when it is allergic cough and no other etiology is there ) have word with doctor before taking steroid take care bye.
