I think I might have post nasal drip, which is causing an extremely strange and nagging cough.  My cough is mostly forced by me because I am feeling like there is phelgm caught in my chest, but then when I try to cough it up I hear a sound like a horn and it is dry.  Sometimes I am just sitting here and the cough happens by itself after I try to take a half way deep breath.  What is this?
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to know more details like your age, your nose symptoms, throat symptoms, stomach symptoms if any, etc. At present, I would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. I would suggest you to perform regular gargles with warm saline.2. Regular steam inhalation would also help if you have nose symptoms like allergies, nose congestion, etc. In that case, I would also add montelukast and levocetirizine to your treatment.3. I would suggest you to avoid heavy meals and an antacid like pantoprazole for 2 weeks, it may help if your symptoms are due to gastroesophageal reflux disease.4. Please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution till recovery as much as possible. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have ant further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health and a very good recovery. Thank you & Regards.
