Is an itchy throat cough different from a pneumonia cough?

Itchy throat and cough are clinical manifestations, and pneumonia is a disease. Pneumonia can cause symptoms of cough, and sometimes it can be accompanied by itchy throat. However, itchy throat and cough are not necessarily pneumonia. Itchy throat and cough may also be seen in acute upper respiratory tract infections, acute bronchitis and other related diseases. Even some noninfectious diseases can cause itching and coughing, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, which can cause patients to show dry cough symptoms. Gastroesophageal reflux may also be accompanied by reflux pharyngitis, causing patients to show throat symptoms, such as itching and sore throat. Therefore, gastroesophageal reflux can also cause itching and coughing.
