A member asked:

Dry cough for 2 weeks, also makes me gag sometimes, can also make me feel like my throat is very tight. what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cough for 2 weeks: You need to see the doctor. Feeling of tightness in your throat could be a sign that you are wheezing. Gagging could also be a symptom of whooping cough.
