Coughing triggered by a sore, itchy throat due to heat should be managed by avoiding spicy and other irritating foods in daily diet. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and consider drinking honeysuckle tea to clear heat and reduce internal fire. Also, avoid excessive fatigue, maintain a cheerful mood, and actively cooperate with medical treatment using medications. Oral pharyngitis tablets can be taken, or medicines with heat-clearing and detoxifying effects such as Lianhua Qingwen Capsules may be used.
