Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of throat constriction and dry cough which seems to be due to chest infection/chronic upper respiratory tract infection.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles. You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get chest X-ray done along with throat swab test and blood tests and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should get pulmonary function test done. Take proper course of antibiotics. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids. Apply mist humidifiers in room.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
