Frequent dry cough accompanied by throat itching warrants a visit to the otolaryngology (ENT) department of a hospital for laryngoscopy to determine the underlying cause, followed by targeted treatment. If the symptoms are caused by inflammation, antibiotics such as azithromycin, amoxicillin, or roxithromycin may be prescribed under a physician’s guidance, along with antitussive medications—for example, pear syrup or Fritillaria-and-loquat syrup.
