My throat was extremely dry 2 weeks ago. now it is just a constant tickle in my throat and cough drops don't help. i can't sleep. what do i do?

Allergies?: Your symptoms may be a sign of allergies. Treatment with antihistamines may help to alleviate the tickle and sore throat.

Dear sleepless: In my home, we make homemade ginger tea. Slice up organic ginger and place in teapot. Add in a tablespoon of buckwheat honey and a teaspoon of lemon. Allow to steep for at least five minutes before sipping. This in addition to hydrating with water can be quite beneficial.
