There's no cold or fever with it, but the coughing isn't constantjust enough that it's causing some pain in my throat. I'm not sure what's going on, and I'm a bit worried since it's been so long. Any advice on what might be causing this or steps I could take to feel better?
Persistent dry cough for more than 3 months can be due to various reasons such as postnasal drip, asthma, or acid reflux. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter cough suppressants like Dextromethorphan. You can also consider using throat lozenges containing Benzocaine to help with the throat pain. Additionally, staying hydrated and using a humidifier can also provide relief. If your symptoms persist, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
