Itching in the throat, coughing, and chest pain may result from respiratory tract infections caused by bacteria or viruses, leading to conditions such as pleurisy, pneumonia, pneumothorax, pulmonary tuberculosis, pleural effusion, or lung abscess. Additionally, malignant pulmonary tumors cannot be ruled out. It is recommended that you visit a reputable hospital for diagnostic evaluation, including chest radiography and complete blood count, to determine the underlying cause.
