Constant Tickling In Throat Which Is Relieved On Coughing. What Does This Indicate And Treatment?

I have this tickle in my throat that makes me cough constantly(dry cough w/ some phlegm). It has been going on for like three days. What could this be, should I be concerned? It is starting to hurt my throat from coughing so much. It helps when I take a cough drop. Seems to happen more when I breathe through nose than through mouth

DEAR PATIENT
WELCOME TO HCM
THAT TICKLE IN YOUR THROAT IS DUE TO AN ALLERGY TO SOMETHING.
MAYBE TO SOME INGREDIENT IN THE FOOD YOU ARE EATING,THIS WILL THEREFORE CAUSE IRRITATION.
I SUGGEST IF YOU TAKE A PUFF CONTAINING SALBUTAMOL YOU WILL GET RELIEF.
YES TOO MUCH EXERTION WHILE COUGHING WILL HURT YOUR THROAT.
ANOTHER REASON COULD BE PHARYNGITIS WHICH IS INFLAMATION OF YOUR PHARYNX.YOU SHOULD CONSULT AN ENT SURGEON.HE WILL GIVE YOU A COURSE OF ANTIBIOTICS AND PAIN KILLERS AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS WITH MOUTH GARGLES WHICH MAY GIVE YOU RELIEF.
BUT I SUGGEST YOU TRY THE FIRST METHOD CAUSE IF ITS ALLERGY WHICH I MOSTLY THINK IT IS,YOU WILL GET COMPLETE RELIEF.
HOPE MY INFORMATION WILL GUIDE YOU.
