Thinking about it I have had this cough on and off for over 2 yrs. I have an sudden choking irritation in one specific spot on right side of throat that makes me cough and my eye run on that side and usually I sneeze as well. It seems to happen when I have been talking or raising my voice. I can go for weeks without it then suddenly it will be there and annoy me about 5-6 times a day for about a week then tis gone again.
I saw my Gp a few times over a year ago and she listened to my chest and said lungs fine and when i said I always cough and sneeze tog she said i could have a sensitive nerve in throat on that side.
I saw GP again in summer and she said she would send me to ent to make sure I didn't have a nodule on my vocal cord as talking seemed to trigger it off and I went in Sept and had a camera down nose to throat:ohmy: and told all perfectly normal.
I haven't had the cough for about a month but yesterday it was back again with a vengeance - same sudden tickle in same place - its a bit embarrasing in public as I coudh sneeze and my eye pours all at once!
I have P appt next Fri so will ask again as after moving house its new Doctors. I know a couple of people who seem to have same cough as me for years so wondered if it was quite common.
