I have a persistent dry cough for past 5 days. Itching in throat causes bouts of coughing. I have tried taking vapour as well as hot water gurgling but to no avail. What more home remedies/medicines are there which can relieve situation. Thanks.

This is not a prescription A share on home remedies of clove .cardamom karaikay, ginger tea or lozenge ,turmericmilk etc. No clear statistically significant info is available to the best of my knowledge. Medically I think aloud that you might be suffering from sinusitis where in mucus from the nose is dribbling down the throats hits the vocal cords and triggers. Cough. Consult a pulmonologist or an ENT surgeon.
