<human>: I have a cough that is caused by the feeling of a dust particle in the back of my throat. I cough to clear the throat . It is a dry cough. But one cough often leads to more immediate coughing for 6 to 8 coughs. Sinuses are clear, no mucous. Very irritating. Age 67, no allergies, and in good health. Normal weight.
<bot>: Hellos you mentioned that you are having" Chat Doctor.  This means either some sort of allergy or throat infection. When such type of patient visit I usually advise them to take dextromethophan + chclopheniramine male ate + guaiphenesine cough syrup (2-3 T S F three times in day). Take some dextromethorphan longer for throat clearance. Take some antibiotics like among clavulanic acid three times in day. This treatment will cure within 5-7 days. Avoidance of dust, mite, pollen, molds will help. Hot coffee also provide relief. Hope this will help you. Still no relief within 7 days, consult a physician and get his opinion.
