Patient: i have a irritation in my throat that causes me to cough i have had this continually for at least 5 years. iv e had an x ray witch was clear .iv e had nose drops .and a test for asthma doc said i might be border line asthmatic and i tried a inhaler for a month. nothing helped .i am 72 yrs. and in very good health. Doctor: Hello,Welcome to HCM,\The symptoms suggests me that your are chronic allergic manifestations, as you are having throat infection which is followed by cough for last 5 years suggest me that you may be having some allergic reactions.You need to undergo absolute eosinophil count to know the presence of any allergic reactions. If there is elevated levels of eosinophil count, you need to test yourself for most prevalent allergens like dust, mite, pollens, food and chemicals.This help to find out the allergen which is a triggering factor for your condition and producing all these symptoms. After identifying the allergen you can avoid the allergen or you can go for immunotherapy.Meanwhile for your symptoms you can take Tab LevocastOral AntihistaminesSyrup for cough like codeineThank you.
