Why is my throat always burning me causing me to cough?

This sounds pretty serious!  You could have any number of things, but, two things come immediatelty to mind--ERD esophageal relux disorder which means the stomach acid is filling your esophagus; and Hiatal hernia which means part of your stomach has slipped through the diaphragm causing you to regurgitate acid.  If you choke and get some of this acid into your lungs you could develop pneumonia.\nMake an appointment to see your doctor right away.  And while you are waiting to see him, elevate the head of your bed w/ some bricks or books; or sleep w/ several pillows so you are not flat!\nGood luck!

Other than cough drops and numbing sprays heat up some lemonaid and drink it hot. Works wonders. Thats what I did when I was pregnant and couldn't take medicines. If the sore throat lasts long you may want to see a doctor and make sure it's not strep.

If you are having a sore throat and cough, it doesn't necessarily mean Strep. Strep has a very distinctive trait and that is high fever. That is 99.9% of the time. If you have high fever then it is probably strep. I thought I had it too and went the Dr. when he heard that I didn't have the fever he didn't even do the strep test. Just put me on antibiotics for bacteria infection in throat. \nNow about your coughing... for goodness sake man use a tissue! Your elbow is not sufficient to block germs. \nIf you can then I highly suggest you take the advice of all the others and cancel your elderly visit. But if you must go you could wear a ventilation mask.

Sounds like you may have a sore throat that is causing the blood.  Try gargling with warm water with a little salt in it.

I know whenever I sleep with a fan on or the window open, that I wake up and my throat burns.

It could be one of many things, first off it could be GERD, something that is like heatburn but is more in the stomach and you don't have to eat spicy foods for it to act up, caffeine, chocolate and other foods can cause discomfort in your stomach and throat. It could also be that your gallbladder is inflamed and causing the pain.  These are just a few things can be going on but without an examination and history no one here can really diagnose what is wrong.  It could also be anxiety caused from being stressed out and when you stress sometimes you can hyperventilate and that can cause unexplained heart/chest pains.  You really should be checked out just to have peace of mind.\n\nTake care, let us know how you feel.

a post nasal drip means there is mucous and phlegm running down the back of your pharnyx, into the back of the throat, which irritates it, thus causing the cough.

The cough is  probably making your ribs ache.  After a month, no wonder.\n\nWhooping cough is a possibility...I mean, the guy is a doctor.  He should schedule an X Ray though, just to check for pneumonia or pluerisy.  And if it is whooping cough, he ought to be giving you antibiotics!\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/hw/raising_a_family/hw65686.asp

Might just be stuck due to dry throat.  Try drinking some warm water to loosen it up.

It sounds like an upper respiratory infection to me, not the flu.  If you ever had the flu, you'd be too weak to write this much on the computer, trust me.  Of course you want to up your fluids with water and juices.  Lay off of the carbonated drinks because they will irritate your bladder and just cause more dehydration.  Hot tea or broth (chicken) will soothe the sore throat; gargelling with warm salt water (1tsp. per cup) for a few minutes will also comfort the throat; take 2-3 aspirin with food (crackers) it will reduce the inflammation/pain and fever.  As for the cough, you can take cough meds if you have them, or honey will help too.  If you're running your heater in your home, it will dry out your bronchi and cause a dry cough.   If you have a vaporizer use it, if not, just put out a pan of water close to your bed to keep the air moist (you can take a good hot shower and that will help also).  Keep warm, get alot of rest and I'm sure you'll be feeling better in the am.  If you're having yellow/green mucous coming up, definitely see a doc.  If not, it will pass in a few days.  Godloveya.

See your doctor if it isn't that serious, or you can try taking Musinex.  But it sounds like your body is trying to get the excess mucus out of your body.  \n\nI have the same cough (and so does my 15 month old), but we are just getting over a cough.  \n\nIf you have had it longer then two weeks, you really need to see a doctor.  I've had some last longer then that, but I have asthma.  If you have asthma and it causing attacks, then you REALLY need to see a doctor.  Also if you having shortness of breath, see a doctor.  \n\nMost of the time it needs to run its course and just get all the mucus up!  Just keep spitting it out!  :-)\n\nAlso if you smoke, you need to quit.  Smoker produce MORE flem (spelling?) then NON-smokers!

First of all, if you are now on antibiotics, it is GOOD you are coughing up that goop.  That is the germs (bacteria) that is making you sick and what you are doing is called "Expectorating".. forcibly removing by coughing icky stuff like germs.\n\nIf you get a sore throat, you CAN take meds to reduce the coughing and sooth the throat, but the sooner it is out of your body the faster you will recover.\n\nDrink plenty of water, give yourself as much rest as you can get, eat fruits/veggies and protein (good for you foods) and take it easy.\n\nI hope you feel better soon.

Sounds more serious than bronchitis. It could be that you're developing pneumonia. The fainting could be from depleting your blood of carbon dioxide (like when a person hyperventilates), or a thing called the Valsalva Effect if you're coughing REALLY REALLY hard.

Try checking your blood pressure it might be high.  The lights are cause dfron the pressure of you blood and it is incresed when you cough any lights in your eyes are cause for concern. Talk to your doctor

Alleric cough is usually caused by allergic rhinitis and post nasal drip which irritates the throat causing a dry cough. Take an antihistamine or prescription allergy med and a corticosteroid nasal spray.

My throat does that from allergic reactions. It's annoying, isn't? I usually get an allergic asthma attack soon after because I breath in the allergen after it hits my throat. That wouldn't happen to you if you weren't susceptible to asthma. \n\nIt doesn't mean you are putting inappropriate things in your mouth. If it's allergic, it simply means you are breathing. Your nose and mouth are connected so it could happen in your throat if you aren't breathing through your mouth. It could be indoors or outside depending on what you may be allergic to (like dust or pollen).
