If a dry, itchy throat and cough are caused by an upper respiratory tract infection, antiviral or symptomatic cold medications—such as Pudilan Oral Liquid or Lianhua Qingwen Capsules—may be used under a physician’s guidance. If the symptoms result from allergies, antihistamines—such as cetirizine or loratadine—can help alleviate them.
