Hello, You are suffering from some underlying health issue like asthma, stress (emotional or physical), sinus problem - postnasal drip, acid reflux, dry mucosa, chronic pharyngitis, or some serious lung disease, COPD, etc. Get your sinus problem treated and stay away from stress. You are advised to keep yourself well hydrated. Take sips of water and fluids all the time. You are advised to keep a humidifier in your room. Keep some indoor plants so that there is abundant of oxygen and make sure that the air is not dry. Take vitamin E rich food or supplements like Evion for 10 days. Take semi solid food or liquid food, avoid talking. Take antihistamine at bedtime for better sleep and throat rest. Take a course of antibiotic like Doxycycline for 5 days to help control infection. Get throat swab test, CBC, sputum examination, X-ray chest, CT / MRI done, if needed to detect the pathology causing you symptoms and to rule out any chronic lung disease. Gargle your throat with salt water twice daily and take guaifenesin or Dextromethorphan cough syrup to get relief. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
