A protracted, dry cough occurs, leading to chest pain, especially under the collarbone, and spontaneous urination. When inhaling deeply, it stabs in the left chest. A persistent scratchy throat leads to increased throat clearing.
The tongue is coated white-brown, burns. Patients suffer from itching, which is most severe on the legs, and morning diarrhea.
