Woke Up To a Tickle and Scratch in My Throat
RATS! So I woke up this morning with an nasty little tickle - (scratchy) in the back of my throat. Does it mean I'm coming down with something serious?
The bad news: a scratchy - itchy throat is a common precursor to a full-blown cold. The good news: being aware that you may be on the brink of a cold is the perfect opportunity for you to take good care of yourself to minimize your symptoms.
A scratchy throat might not just be an indicator of an oncoming cold. It might stem from another form of irritation, such as allergies, pollution, dry air, or acid coming up from your stomach. Once you identify the source of your scratchy throat, proper treatment or prevention can begin.
You can minimize or maybe even prevent your scratchy throat while your body mounts a natural response to its underlying cause. Many herbal and self-help therapies can help.
