A member asked:

Itching throat my throat is extremely itchy and feels like there is something in it. it has caused me not to be able to sleep what can i do to help this problem? nothing else is wrong with me

You : You are likely dealing with allergies and/or post nasal drip. However that fact that you feel like there is something on your throat warrants a medical visit. In the meantime take a daily claritin, and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for the itching. Good luck.
