POSTNASAL DRIP: You may have postnasal drip. Because the feeling of the liquid in your throat is irritating and contains inflammatory substances, postnasal drip can trigger chronic cough

If your throat feels: 'rough' like sandpaper, it's time to visit your doctor and see if you have irritation in your oropharynx (throat area), or enlarged tonsils, or cobblestone from post nasal drip, and have her/him help you out! The mild swelling may be causing you to cough, and it's unnecessary to keep it going any longer. Call now.
