Ticklish Cough — Which Doctor Should I See?

A ticklish cough is a dry, irritating cough caused by a tickling sensation in the throat or upper airways, often triggered by irritants, allergies, or post-nasal drip.

Common causes include allergies, dry air, throat irritation, post-nasal drip, acid reflux, or viral infections. Environmental irritants and sudden temperature changes can also trigger it.

Try staying hydrated, using honey or throat lozenges, using a humidifier, avoiding irritants, and gargling with salt water. Consult a doctor if it persists beyond two weeks.
