Hi I've had a really bad upper viral infection since January this year. Bad hacking cough, tickly throat and all the other comman an viral symptoms. I've had a dry tickly cough now on and off for about 3 and a bit months. And also still get a bit of a sore scratchy dry throat now and again. I've been to docs they have also said it's viral and they have also seen other people who have had viral infections since last November and viruses seem to be lasting longer. Is my sore throat and on and off dry cough due to irratation of the Airways from viral infection and now is post viral or something else? Can it really go on for this long? Can anyone else relate?
