Why do I get a tickle in my throat and can't stop coughing?


Why do I get a tickle in my throat and can't stop coughing? Tickly coughs are most often caused by a recent cold or flu, known as a post-viral cough. If this is the case, you will likely experience other cold and flu-like symptoms too. Other tickly cough causes include allergies, air pollution or a sudden change in temperature.


Can you damage your throat from coughing?

Chronic cough is associated with repetitive injury to the upper airway and trachea, which can lead to an underdiagnosed pathology known as ?cough-induced? laryngotracheitis (CILT).
