Right after my flu went away i developed a tickle in my throat which causes me to cough. its been 3 weeks and it has not gone away. is this normal?

You could have a: Little residual post nasal drip. Neti pots can help. Mix ¼ tsp salt w 1 cup lukewarm water. More salt can also be used. Place solution in neti pot. Tilt head ; pour solution into 1 nostril. Blow nose lightly ; spit out any liquid that drains into throat. Repeat on other side. This can be done in the evening before you go to bed ; again in A.M.
