A member asked:

What is the best home remedy for itchy throat & nagging cough?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Find the cause: It all depends how long you have had those symptoms. If it has been more than a few days, that means it is not a cold, but rather maybe post nasal drip from nasal allergies, . Try over the counter antihistamines and saline nasal spray and consult an allergist if things persist.
