Infection could be the cause

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Itching in the throat could be an indication of presence of milder form of infection or an infection in the early stages.

Do gargle with antiseptic solution like Chlorhexidine twice daily to get rid of the infection and feel symptom free.

Hope, I answered your query.
