the right side of my throat is "prickly" and has been so for a while now. Been to the gp's numerous times who say it all looks ok.

When I wake on a morning it seems ok but gets worse as the day wears on. The pain is not unbearable, just "niggly".
I have lots of thick mucous on the back of my throat and a feeling of the need to "snort" and swallow all the time. My inner ear and right tonsil also is tickly and sometimes twinges.

Has anyone else had this? Anything to worry about?
any ideas of what this could be? what could help this?
this is driving me bonkers!
