Itchy chest: If you had a recent viral upper respiratory tract infection and did some coughing, it's likely that your trachea had some irritation leading to a hacking,nonproductive cough. Taking a suppressant cough syrup like robitussinDM would sooth the discomfort. If you want to loosen mucus, take a syrup like mucinex. Your symptom could also be from irritants in the environment or excessive dryness.
