A member asked:

Itchy throat on and off for 3 weeks, makes me want to cough(non productive). relief from ventolin. but comes back. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible asthma : If you are using ventolin i assume you are asthmatic your itchy throat could be a postnasal drip and if so a decongestant would help as v works the cough could be from constriction are you tight or sob any situations that affects your asthma if decongestant doesn't help i would suggest md.
