Itchy cough caused by pharyngitis can generally be treated with medication. Pharyngitis is a severe throat condition caused by bacterial infections, viral infections, or environmental factors. It significantly affects patients' daily lives and also impacts their mental health, so proactive measures should be taken. During treatment, patients must pay attention to their diet, especially avoiding spicy or salty foods.
