Is a persistent cough of a week a worry?

[Linda1969]

I had a partial thyroidectomy in October. This was found to be cancerous. I had the remaining half removed in December which was clear. I have had a cough for a week which is very annoying, a cross between tickly and hourse and it promote funny looks as once it starts I cannot stop. Is it anything to worry about? Xxx

Hi Linda, I doubt very much it's anything to worry about. Probably triggered by pollen with all these storms we've had. I find hot/warm water with a couple of tsp of honey and thick slice of lemon very soothing for a tickly cough.
