Question 3

Cough...: It sounds as if you may be describing a post-nasal drip, which causes the itchy, scratchy throat and dry cough by stimulating cough receptors at the back of the throat. If an older child (> 12 years old) or adult, may try an otc decongestant and cough suppressant, usually with dextromethorphan. Throat lozenges, humidifiers, topical Vicks and offering warm liquids will also help;.

Question 5

i have a dry  cough and slept a lot of the day. have felt a little fluish. no sore throat though but worried about my chest?

Accepted Answer

Keep an eye!!: If you are otherwise a healthy 49 years old, a dry cough, some tiredness and feeling hot, is worth keeping an eye on your temperature. A cough medication might help but if you have a fever or symptoms progress, is worth calling or doing a video consult for consideration of testing for Covid 19. You may want to check the availability of testing and requirements in your town.
