Yes, Thank You! I Have Had A Tickle Or Irritant

Yes, thank you! I have had a tickle or irritant in my throat for the last 2 months. I begin to cough and then it feels like I am suffocating and begin to gag like I need to vomit! Warm water, cold water does not help and it has become a daily symptom, 2-3 times a day. I schedule surgeries for patients and have had to leave the room or put patients on hold to try and relieve my coughing. I had childhood asthma/allergies so I am well aware of those symptoms but this is more of an actual closing of throat causing me to cough and gag. Any idea's?
