What Causes Tingling Sensation Near The Uvula Causing Dry Cough?
About once a day, at various times of the day, I get a tingling feeling in the back of my mouth near the uvula that causes me to cough, mostly a dry cough with not much phlegm. It s happened before but not everyday like its been for the past few days. I have no other symptoms. What could it be? Do I need to see a doctor?
