What can be done about constant coughing from an irritated throat?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Cough: Depends on what you mean by chronic. The most important thing is to find the cause. Over the counter preparations mostly do not work well. If you are a smoker stop. Worth discussing with your GP to investigate the cause instead of only treating the symptoms.

Coughing: Do you smoke? If so, stop. You might consider hydrating yourself and the use of throat lozenges. If no improvement, drop by to see your GP.
