What Causes Cough,sore Throat And Watery Eyes?

I have had the following symptoms for approximately one month. I am a 56 year old male, never smoked, maybe three beers a year.
a) cough
b) a little difficulty swallowing when thinking about it
c) a feeling inside my throat (near the Adams Apple) of a small pill not swallowed.
d) no sore throat
e) watery eyes

I have a doctors appointment in two days but I am concerned now. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Terry

The symptoms of Cough, with sore throat and watery eyes may be the symptoms of acute viral upper respiratory tract infection, but if that's due to infection with virus, it may not last for 4 weeks usually. So in your case there is another possibility of Allergy of the respiratory tract , that may be causing these symptoms. Anyways Both of these conditions are well manageable and treatable, so I believe there should not be much worry, and you may look forward for an appointment with your doctor.
