What are the causes of a sore throat and dry cough?

Patient's question:

Hello, what causes a sore throat and dry cough? What can help alleviate it? Which medicine is most effective?

Doctor's answer:

If hoarseness occurs multiple times, along with the symptom of dry cough, this should be considered a recurrence of acute gastritis. This is a symptom caused by diaphragmatic spasm due to the excitation of the phrenic nerve. It is recommended to practice deep breathing, cough while holding your breath, or drink water to relieve the pain. If the symptoms do not disappear after these adjustments, it is advisable to go to the hospital for further medical treatment in the internal medicine department. Sedative or sleeping medications may be required to resolve the issue.
