I have been on a regime on vita c, zinc and d for 2 years. I have had this cough/ clearing of throat for 2.5 years. Doesn't seem to help. Been on prescribed histamine and nasal histamine sprays with no help either

Hi @kwal. Hoping my pcp suggestion of throughout day sucking on small pieces vitamin c gummies whose tolerated citrus naturally help mucous and new post @richardpassoth better informing swallowing irritant down can be helpful to you
over time🤞quickest healing to you🌈
@kwal sorry forgot to mention also histamine blockers and sprays affect differently with some still consume things having histamine liberators may not be aware of🙃 hope explained well!

Thanks for this feedback. Yes, have tried various medications with no benefit. But a Speech Therapist did recommend that I swallow any phlegm (or wash it down with sips of water) since coughing it up only produces more phlegm. It simply reinforces the problem. Hope this helps. Try swallowing or washing it down persistently (not coughing it up) and see if this ends the reinforcement. Try it.
