Itchy throat due to hereditary
I have an itchy throat and my father has this habit too. We cough in order to get the voice right. Something seems stuck in the throat and needs some clearing by coughing but not exactly coughing. It's just making sounds in ascending order to clear the throat. There is no phlem to be honest. How can I overcome this long battling problem? Plus it increases while I take my first cigarette of the day. But my father doesn't smoke at all and I cannot blame it alone on the cigarettes. Your input is highly appreciated Doc. Thank you !
