hi there this may seem so trivial ,but it has worrird me for weeks ,i had a bad sore throat and cold about 3 weeks ago which took about 1 week to clear,after that i ended up with a tickly cough the cough settled eventually but now i am left with this horrible feeling at the bottom of my throat that i can only describe as a constant tickle sometimes i cough with it but mostly it just feels like i want to cough ,my doc says my chest is clear .it mainly starts up at night then i panic that my throat is going to close over.has any1 else experienced this after a bad sore throat ,its like a constant irratating tickle that neve goes and worse at night.i know it sound a bit trivial but it really worries me ,like it might be asthma ,my son has asthma and he has 1 of the peak flows to monitor it ,i blew it to it and get430 no matter how bad my throat feels,im just scared my throats going to close,all becuase of a tickle sounds stupid i know ,but i have let my fear get out of control regarding my health again,i hope someone can give a bit of advice many thanks take care molly

Hi there

The throat problems are very common but your throat won't close up and you won't suffocate.

Ignoring it is the only cure I am afraid though some saying sucking mints or sweets helps too.

Have you read all the throat posts on here and the Symtoms page?
