What Causes Coughing And Constant Itching At The Back Of Throat?

For three days now, I've had a very harsh cough. The feeling is that of a feather being rubbed in the back of my throat. I have no other signs of sickness or symptoms. Just nonstop itchyness from the feeling in my throat. I'm tired of coughing because it's hurting. Thanks in advance.
