Having a little pain in throat and coughing a bit?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sore throat /cough: Sore throat with cough often come from viral infections, allergies, or gastric reflux. Simple gargle with warm salty water can relieve some symptoms. Antihistamine may help to dry the cough and an antacid may help if reflux is a cause. See physician if not improvement in 2-3 weeks or if fever developed.
