How do you calm an itchy throat? quickly!?I have been sick for a while with swollen tonsils and lymph nodes. I have been coughing up mucous and had a runny/stuffy nose. Now there is hardly any swelling and hardly any mucous (accept in the morning after not taking meds all night) Anyway all the sickness and coughing left my throat and chest feeling itchy and its making me cough even more. Cough syrups not helping too much neither is water or sitting in steam. highly irritating. help.

If it is bothering you that much you should see a doctor. It could be something you need to check out.
Sorry I could be of more help.

drink more water, use a nasal rinse, run a vaporizer when you sleep, take your meds EXACTLY as prescribed, and follow up with your doctor.

Benadryl works wonders in calming an itchy throat, if you don't mind getting sleepy after taking it. I know this because I'm very allergic to cashews and pistachios, so I never leave home without Benadryl. I get an itchy throat if I happen to eat anything containing either of those two nuts or anything that has been cross contaminated, plus I start throwing up. My throat stops itching after I take the Benadryl, but I still get very sick. If you really need quick relief for an itchy throat, take liquid Benadryl, it's fast acting. You can also try Cepacol throat spray. It's numbing, so be careful not to get it on your tongue or your cheeks. Drink a lot of water and some hot tea. You might also want to gargle hot salt water or hot water with lemon in it. I hope you get better soon. :)

Drink a glass of water or use cepacol spray.
