I had pnuemonia in March and the coughing part was horrible, and I just have seemed to have gotten over it, but the dry cough is hanging on and driving me nuts!!! Its not in the lungs, its like this tickle in the back of the throat that hits periodically that throws me into a coughing fit. I have tried throat losenges, tea, and cough syrup

why prednisone was prescribed?
It appears you have gone offline.The tickle on the back of the throat may be due to a simple pharyngitis.salt water gargling and honey provide relief.Sometimes it may be due to post nasal drip.In that case you may need steam inhalation and decongestants like sudafed for relief.It may also be due to acid reflux disease. Medications like prilosec would be helpful.First start with salt water gargling and honey.
