I don't have cold and my throat does not hurt, but I have been coughing for 2 weeks over and over. I have taken medicines but it still hasn't worked. My throat itches what could be wrong. I can't stop coughing.

Not a question for us really. Go to the Doctors.

I think you should go to the clinic just to be checked out. It's probably nothing. It could be acid reflux as well. If you are over weight, eat a lot of fast foods, drink a lot of soft drinks, etc. then these things can contribute to acid reflux which causes coughing. It could be that you just have bad allergies as well. Have you tried buying any over the counter cough drops or allergy medication to see if that helps? Also, some people have what they call "nervous coughs." This means that when they panic or get nervous, they tend to cough. There are a number of reasons why you could be coughing. For the acid reflux, you might try Tums or something that controls acid reflux just to see if that helps. Also, when you sleep at night, elevate your head on pillows. This will help push the muccus down so it doesn't stay in your throat and cause you to cough as well. Also, if you smoke or are around people who smoke then that could contribute to coughing as well. Also, when is the last time you dusted in your house? Dust can definitely cause coughing as well.

are you a smoker ? could be an allergic reaction to somethng. What sort of cough is it? I it is dry could be that you need to uptake more water. If it is phlegmy then you may have a viral infection. I would definitley got to see the quack and also try some honey,stem ginger and a sqeeze of lemon in some hot water. I ge a tickle throat uite often and this seems to help.

Could possibly be allergies or if you smoke it could be that. It could also be your sinuses leaking down to your throat which causes a tickle. I'm actually going through the sinus thing right now.

it coud be dust, or do you have any allergies? because if you do then that might be the cause of your coughing but if you don,t or you are not sure about it, it is best for your consern to to go to the clinic before is to late and you regret it, cause is better safe then sorry, right.

yes you need to seek medical help because not knowing and worrying will hurt you more than what is really wrong.
