What Causes Constant Tickling In Throat And Voice Loss?

I have a constant tickle in my throat and have battled losing my voice, it will partially come back, only to lose it again. I have no symptoms of any illness (energy levels fine, no loss in appetite, no changes in bowel movement or urination, etc.) recently In the past few days I have developed the need to cough to clear the tickle. It is an overwhelming tickle and now I am experiencing a choking tickling sensation and go into coughing fits and feel my air way is getting cut off. My eyes tear and it is very overwhelming/unsettling. Drinking water helps when I can get a second to intake the water when not in midcough. What is causing this and how can I get rid of it?

Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone though your question.
The trickling in the back of your throat could be due to sinus infection. The frequent clearing of throat and voice change also related with this.
Nothing to worry, you will be fine.
I recommend the following.
1) A course of antibiotics
2) Antihistaminic with montelukast.
3) Steam inhalation to promote sinus ventilation and improve sinus drainage.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help you.

Wish you a speedy recovery and good health.

Regards,
Dr Paparaja S MBBS MS
