A member asked:

Im having a dry cough accompanied with itchy throat what is over-the-counter med for these?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a physician: You should consult a physician. You did not mention what triggers your cough. You may be suffering from allergies and postnasal drip.. Allergy medication like antihistamine and nasal spray and neti potty sinus rinse can help. Consult a physician or an ENT specialist.
