Cough that won't go away

1 Upvotes

For context I was sick over 3 weeks ago. Just a normal cold got over it in like 5 days. However a few days after I started to feel better I get this persistent itchy, scratching feeling in my throat that puts into full coughing fits, like leaves me winded. I'm not a quiet cougher and this is driving me and my family insane. So I need your most unhinged ways to get rid of lingering coughing.

Not drink hot tea or gargle salt water. I am desperate please help lol.

Also I have been to the doctor for the issue and they were like "Well no more illness sometimes your throat is just irritated after" but it has been weeks like please give me a better solution.

Child keeps getting sick with the same symptoms every 2 weeks

Since the first school weekend when school started my 4 year old got sick with a fever, sore throat and his eyes were burning, I took him to the doctor and she said it’s most likely a virus and she didn’t see anything wrong his throat was clear, eyes and ears everything looked normal l. 2 weeks later same symptoms again and again it started in the weekend, I took him to the doctor she said another virus or allergies but it couldn’t have been allergies since he had a fever 🤦🏻‍♀️. 2 weeks later again same exact symptoms, it started on the weekend i took him to his doctor again and asked for her to check for the flu or strep
Everything came back clear, she said since school starts kids come home with different viruses everytime and of course I already know that, I have a big family at home and we always get sick but I have 5 kids at home, 5!!!! No one else got sick it has only been my 4 year old 😣
Why does he get sick like clockwork with the same symptoms always starting in the weekend and it only lasts for like 2-3 days? His teacher said no one in his class is sick either. This is so frustrating because I don’t have any answers as to why he’s getting sick every 2 weeks with the exact same symptoms and always starting the same day in the weekend. Should I get a second opinion? I’m really getting worried
