A member asked:
My throat itching for over a year the coughing & gaging are embarrassing not from my chest hard candy and water helps very little. no heartburn

Doctor should check: A year is a long time to be coughing. A primary care doctor can check first, to see if there is an allergy, asthma, or infection problem. He may refer to an ENT doctor to further evaluate and look more more serious problems. The doctor might also order a chest xray and other tests, as needed.
