What Are the Treatments for an Itchy Throat?
An itchy throat can be an annoying condition but it is usually not a serious condition and can be treated at home with some simply remedies. The throat has a special mucosal membrane that may become irritated by allergies or hay fever, tobacco use, and throat inflammation due to a virus or some other medical condition, like fungal laryngitis. Glands in the throat secrete mucus which covers the walls of the throat, aiding in the passage of air and food. When these glands do not secrete enough mucus, the throat becomes dry and itchy. Treatment is directed at hydrating the walls of the throat.
