Cold, Flu and Viral Infections Answer A30721
Hello and welcome to e health forum.

From the extensive history provided, it seems that you have recovered from a severe bout of ‎pharyngitis and could be having persisting issues due to post infectious bronchitis.‎

Usually once a infection subsides the residual inflammation of the airway causes persistent ‎cough, this is called post infectious bronchitis. The main symptoms here are dry, cough in ‎paroxysms which persist for a long variable time frame.

Up to 25% of people suffer from a post-infectious cough – that continues for 2-3 weeks.

The condition resolves with time and conservative measures including steam inhalation, saline gargling, proper fluid intake and adequate rest.
