I think I found out the reason I'm coughing; hayfever.
Since last Thursday the itchy cough disappeared, I only had to cough when my throat got dry (normal for me after a nasty cold) and that could be prevented or remedied easily.
Yesterday afternoon, however, the itchy cough returned. I've had it a couple of times before, mostly when staying in a wooded area. I did hear reports last week that some types if hayfever could be triggered due to the warm winter.
The reason why it didn't bother me for almost a week: it was rainy and damp. Now that the weather is dry and sunny the itchy cough returns.
I've just taken a pill, and it seems to have started kicking in. Knock on wood. Just to be sure I'll keep my diffuser on during the night, it'll also help with the dry throat. If the cough returns despite the pills I'll give my doctor a call on Monday.
