Suggest Treatment For Dry Cough With Swollen Taste Buds
I have had a dry chronic cough for over a week now. I don't think my sinuses are draining, although I did have a day of sneezing fits. Today, my throat is sore. When I looked down my throat in the mirror, it looks like the taste buds at the back of my tongue are swollen, gradually getting larger towards my throat. I am 42, female, and in good health.
