What Causes Pricking Sensation In Throat Leading To Cough?

I get a pricking sensation in the back of my throat on the right side, alway the same spot, at night when I lay down. If I try not to cough I get an increase in my spit. If I let cold water run slowly over the spot it helps a bit but does not take it away. It is very uncomfortable.Regards
