A frequent dry cough in children can occur due to allergies, throat irritation, viral infections, or conditions like Allergic Rhinitis. Syrups containing Dextromethorphan hydrobromide can help relieve dry cough in children above 4. Ensure your daughter drinks plenty of warm fluids, avoids cold or dusty environments, and gets enough rest.

I have redness in my throat all the time, and I have a habit of chewing tobacco. What should I do to improve this?

Persistent redness of the throat can be due to ongoing irritation, and chewing tobacco is a common cause, because it damages the lining over time. Stopping tobacco use is the most important step to allow healing and prevent further harm. Keep your throat hydrated with warm fluids and avoid spicy or very hot foods that can worsen irritation. Maintain good oral hygiene and try not to clear your throat repeatedly. Consult your doctor for a proper check if the redness persists.
