Suggest Treatment For Persistent Tickling Sensation In Throat

Question: i have a constant tickle in my throat and nothing will get rid of it
Brief Answer:
it needs investigation
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
if this is a very recent symptoms then perhaps an upper respiratory tract infection or allergic reaction can be blamed. Do you have a history of asthma for example?
Otherwise (or if it is a long-standing symptom) then an ENT (ear-nose-throat) specialist should evaluate your throat and larynx and perhaps also order a chest X-ray if the direct visualization of the upper respiratory tract won't help.
I can't suggest any treatment without a diagnosis, so the investigation has to be done first.
Kind Regards!
