I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing severe throat pain due to a cough. This can be quite uncomfortable. Here are some steps you can take to help relieve your symptoms:

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of warm fluids like water, herbal teas, or warm water with honey and lemon to soothe your throat.
• Use a Humidifier: Moist air can help reduce throat irritation.
• Rest Your Voice: Avoid straining your voice to allow your throat to heal.
• Over-the-Counter Remedies: An expectorant medicine like Ascoril SF Expectorant, which helps loosen mucus and ease coughing, may be helpful. However, it should be taken only under a doctor's prescription and guidance.
• Avoid Irritants: Stay away from smoke, strong perfumes, or other irritants that can worsen your throat pain.

If your throat pain is severe, persists for more than a few days, or is accompanied by high fever, difficulty swallowing, or breathing problems, please consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist promptly.
