What to do when you have a itching in your throat?

What else did your doctor say? If it is a habit, did he give suggestions on how you could break the habit? When my throat itches, I usually look for hard candies. I like the menthol ones and I rarely drink cold drinks during this time. Strepsil helps a lot. I also avoid food that can trigger coughing like junk food, peanuts and the like. Sometimes munching on these food can really be a big hassle.
