what causes tickle in the throat and coughing
As tickly coughs and dry coughs do not produce mucus, they are known as non-productive coughs, distinct from chesty coughs where mucus is produced when coughing. Tickly coughs result from an irritation in the throat (pharynx) and the cough is triggered to relieve this feeling of irritation. Tickly coughs are most commonly caused by cold and fluviruses. We pick these viruses up mainly via our hands.
