Suggest Treatment For Dry Persistent Cough?
Hi, In the past I have been known for having larger tonsils. Today I kept feeling like there was a popcorn kernel or something stuck back in my throat but when I looked I was taken back by how my throat looked. My tonsils look like they are stuffed with pebbles, they appear to have blisters on them. Not any color or puss looking. I have reddish blister tiny on my upper soft palate. I am 31 yoa female. I was diagnosed with MS in 2007. I have not had a sore throat but have had a dry persisstant cough that has nagged me on and off the entire summer, I just always attributed it to sinus drainage and that kind of thing

Hello,
Your main problem is that you feel something is stuck in your throat as well as dryness, it can be due to acid reflex so, you avoid taking food with a lot of spices, fat or Cheese etcetera.
Do not go to bed just after having dinner. Go at least after 1 hour. For your tonsil, try with gargle with Luke warm water with salt. If you are having repeated tonsil infection, then I will recommend you to get it removed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anchal Jain
