Irritability: If you had a severe viral sore throat and/or did a lot of coughing during your recent flu like infection, there may be some residual irritability in that portion of your throat causing the occasional scratchiness instead of a dry cough. Try lozenges or robitussin DM (guaifenesin and dextromethorphan) syrup as needed to sooth or heal this area of your throat.
