How do you get rid of a persistent itchy throat and cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Identify trigger: Coughing may be related to itching of the throat. While an antihistamine may decrease the itching, the best long term approach would be to see an allergist to perform testing to identify the trigger.
