You might be coughing due to PND (Post Nasal Drip)
When my allergies act up, it makes my throat tickle and sometimes it feels like a sore throat, making you (and me)
cough.
What helps me, is Benadryl. It’s especially good to take in the evening, and will help you sleep.
If you don’t want or like the sleepiness, there are plenty of non drowsy formulas that you can buy OTC.
Our histamine response to allergens is responsible for it.
I forgot to say it makes my eyes water something fierce!
Hope you feel better soon, Gran!

Thank you for the good advice.
I have Benadryl and I will take some tonight.
And I think you are spot on about the cause.
