I am recovering from a cold and I have a dry, itchy feeling in my throat.
I cough a terrible hacking cough when I get a tickle on the back of my throat and nothing, not honey, not cough drops, not water...nothing can make my throat feel moist.
What to do?

It almost feels like I am constantly choking--like my throat is closing in...but I am not having trouble breathing or anything.

The cough is unproductive.

Maybe you need an expectorant to get things moving? Often a dry unproductigve cough means there IS stuff down there but it needs to be loosened. Try getting in a steamy shower or use a vaporizer and see if that helps at all. If it does try the vaporizer and expectorant.

As a mom, I can tell you that the best over-the-counter cough medicine is Delsym. It is non-narcotic and is only for cough -- not congestion or anything else. It will not make you tired or feel weird. If Delsym does not work, see a doctor and get something stronger.
