Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears to be the cough of the throat origin may be due to uvula infection.
I advise you to consult an E.N.T. surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms erythromycin, phenylephrine, citrizine, and dextrometharfan.
Avoid taking fruits, juices, icecreams, ice water etc.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
