Coughing nonstop. no other symptons. throat is red and only sour after coughing. what do i have and what can i do?

Reflux: I am thinking of reflux for you since you describe a sourness in the throat after. The cough may actually be a result, rather than the cause. Make sure you aren't lying down flat within 2 hours of eating. If you keep having this happen, get to an ENT who can evaluate you for reflux.
