I have had an incessant ticklish dry cough for almost three weeks. It is non productive and just there, everytime I try to talk, I end up coughing.  I even cough at night a lot more, do I need antibiotics for this,  I have taken simple linctus but to no avail, I am now taking cough mixture for dry tickly cough.  Is this okay or do I need to see my GP.  I am 54 years and do have sickle cell anaemia which is well controlled.  I weigh 52 kg.
