Is there anything out there to cure coughing and sore throat?


Question:
I have tried drinking a lot of vitamin C, it helps the sore throat but the coughing won't stop. This happens to me almost every year. This year, it's so bad that when I choke on water I can't breath when coughing and then tears stream out from my eyes. And when I find something funny, I start coughing for half a minute or so. Is this a throat problem that can be cured?
But I don't have any problems when talking or singing.

any professional advice is graciously appreciated.

Answers:
It sounds like you have a form of asthma.
Bronchospasms induced by stress... coughing is a good indicator of this.
This is a throat problem that can be cured.
Go in to the doc and get some pulmonary function tests run to rule out asthma.
Then tell them that you have this bronchitis like symptoms each year at this time ( probably a ragweed allergy)
they'll work you up and find something to fix this problem, even if it means some antihistimines for a few months around this time each year.
Is the coughing from your throat or your chest?
Sounds like possible scar tissue on your tonsils. That can cause chronic coughing for a prolonged amount of time.
Another possible cause could be walking pneumonia.
Either way, get checked out by your doc.
try a cough medacation it might do you some good . good luck.
