What Causes Itchy Throat And Chest Even After Pholtex Forte Medication?

I have an very itchy throat and chest and it gets worse at night, like a mosquito bite itch, exactly the same itching. I cough so much I havent had a decent sleep for 2 weeks now, my eyes are swollen and red, I get myself some honey and eat that when I start to cough, I look like someone drinking and partying for weeks on end. I use Pholtex Forte now and that does not help much.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have itchy throat and chest even after Pholtex Forte medication which is due to chronic lung infection/ upper respiratory tract infection or bronchitis. Need not to worry much. I would suggest you to visit pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should go for pulmonary function tests and x-ray chest as well to check exact level of infection. You should do warm saline gargles on daily basis. Start treatment only after proper prescription. Drink plenty of water. Take hot milk rich in turmeric as it will booster immunity. You need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine drug. You should use mist humidifiers in room. You should take cough expectorants as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
