Need more info: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. If coughing clears the symptoms, nothing more may be needed. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Just a thought: you should get these symptoms checked out by your PCP ...this sounds like TRACHEITIS (an inflammation of the large airways (TRACHEA) which runs along in the front of your chest....Antibiotics are sometimes indicated! Hope this is helpful! Just a thought Dr Z
