I suffer coughing attack once in a while , my saliva gets really thick .this happens after i drink anytthing cold ..itake a hypertensive maintenance drug amlodipine?

Yes, It's Common: Amlodipine can cause reduced saliva and dry mouth. Both can lead to thicker saliva and a tickle in the throat with chronic coughing. Stay well hydrated, which can reduce these symptoms, but may cause more frequent urination.
