How To Treat Ticking Sensation In Chest Due To Cough And Congestion?

I have a tickle in my chest and I sometimes cough to no avail. Sometimes tiny amount of greyish phlegm present. I ve had this annoying affliction for years. I m a singer and sometimes it is a hinderance. Chest X-rays over the years show nothing. I have a large lung capacity but when I cough it has a wheeze to it. No wheeze when breathing.

hi
this looks like a long standing problem.

you could have developed singers nodes due to voice abuse, which may activate intermittently to give chest infection.

trickling through the throat can lead to congestion.

i suggest you to visit an ENT specialist, & undergo D`L scopy to find out the cause,before you go for chronic permanent damage with the same.

all the best,take care.
