Hello! I understand how frustrating that can be. I had a time period where coughing was difficult and where I would regularly lose my voice. I learned a couple tricks like pressing on my neck in different areas to help with coughing or clearing my throat. For me pressing gently between my collar bones helps when clearing my throat or to help my vocal chords when I have a weaker voice. I'm not sure if that is a common thing, or just with the way my throat was impacted. I also found that having grace around using antihistamines and allergy meds was helpful as these can help with mucus. Cough drops and hot tea with honey are also always in stock for me as well. I hope you get some answers!
