Please suggest. I am heaving ticking in throat and dry coughs produce little or no mucus, they are non-productive coughs, distinct from chesty coughs. Dry coughs result from an irritation in the throat (pharynx) and the cough is triggered to relieve the irritation since 2 months. These starts only when exposed to dust and mint. I have been taking montek LC for 2 week now and I have no cough but still the slight itchiness in throat. My question is: What is this symptoms of? Should I stop the medicine. I hate taking medicine. What is the alternative?
