Why Have Cough And Throat Irritation Flared Up Despite Taking Cymbalta?
For the past few weeks I ve been doing an annoying amount of throat clearing. But now my throat is a little scratchy soar and my ears seem a bit clogged. It doesn t hurt to eat. I do have a rather dry throat most of the time. I m on Cymbralta, Amlodipine, and Crestor. The Cymbralta was precsribed a year ago for my cough and throat clearing. But the throat clearing has really flared up.

Hello,
I recommend performing a throat swab for strep infection or a fungal infection. Your symptoms don't seem to be related to Cymbalta.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
