If it's constantly happening, check with your Doctor if you have "post nasal drip"... Typically you can tell if you do cause you can't breathe properly out of one nostril. Post nasal drip causes sinus stuff will dry your throat out. I had a ton of issues until I got that diagnosis. It was brutal how much I coughed at 18-25 yr old. I'd cough so much,I would cause bleeding in my throat making a constant tickle by blood dripping down.... It sux...

Asprin finely crushed up mixed with an ounce of hot water and table spoon of honey works too.
