Hello stated that, you are having severe bouts of cough but you didn't mention the duration, since how many days. You are also having throat tingling or sore throat and irritation. This cough is more in the night i.e. temperature decreases in the night. Such type of cough may be due to these possibilities, these include:1 Septic pharyngitis, diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by an ENT .2 Asthmatic allergic bronchitis, as this is also a common cause of such cough and sore throat (due to allergy)In this usually patient develop irritation in the throat with whistling sound during breathing.3 Flu, as this is also a common cause of such cough. When such patient visit I advise them to take montelukast+ albuterol, once or twice in day (but usual dose is once in the evening) . Hot coffee, steam inhalation also provide instant relief. I advise my patient to take levofloxacin 10-12 mg / kg, once in day (unless contraindicated). Since this is a prescription, so consult your doctor and take a prescription. Good luck.
