How to clear throat inflammation or irritation?

Hi this is sunny,
I have been suffering soar throat since I got cold last year 2012 dec. the cold is gone but coughing and irritation in the throat area are still present. I went to couple of doctor and ENT specialist. They have given me couple of different medicine like puff or nasal spray or even nebuliser, those are not i needed. The doctors are not helpful at tis term.
I can tell you every time I clear my throat, in a second I feel I have to clear again. Some time it's very gluee. During day I can manage by clearing no mater how many time I needed to. But it really problematic when I go to bed at night. I uses strepsils, Anticol, soother every night when I go for sleep. It also causes problem for my wife to sleep because of noise of clearing throat.It's been nearly a year. Please give me some solution, please..

Hi cathleen zoretic, I have stopped taking medicine from my ENT specialist. I stopped because he could not give me any solution. I have spent more than $1000 for doctors fee. Just tell me what should I do to let it go.

Thanks for using the forum.

I am sorry that you have been having this issue for so long. I am afraid that I can't give you a solution to your problem. You state in your question that you were prescribed medication by your ENT and doctor. Did you speak with them about stopping the medication? Did they recommend anything else? With out the benefit of physical examination, or knowing what medications you have tried it is hard for me to make any recommendation. I would suggest that you return to the ENT and discuss what can be done for the persisting symptoms you are experiencing.

Good luck, I hope you are feeling better soon.
