Brief Answer:
Monteleukast levocetirizine combination can be tried.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

The mentioned tickle is due to an allergic phenomenon called post nasal drip. You may take Montair LC (monteleukast + levocetirizine) [prescription medicine] once daily for a few days on-and-off as required. Also gurgle with lukewarm water and take steam inhalation. Since it has not resolved in 30 years, I guess it would be hard to resolve.
