Cough that won't go away
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.
