A member asked:

What is best to take for a tickly throat and being a little stuffed up. so it doesnt get any worse and to feel a little better?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rinse out drainage: The tickle in your throat is likely due to mucous drainage in the back of the throat. Rinsing your nasal passages, with a neti pot or saline rinse bottle and gargling with salt water solution will help. Make sure your are drinking plenty of fluids, especially when taking a diuretic such as hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ).
