Tickle Tickle Tickle

For the past several days, I've had a tickle in my throat, and it's been really aggravating.

You know that little tickle, it feels like a hair on your uvula. It creates a cough, a persistent one. Nothing dislodges it. Nothing makes the tickle, the itch go away. It makes my throat contract and I have to gasp for air -- and then it goes away a few minutes later. But in the meantime, it's embarrassing.

I don't know what causes it. I've not a clue what to do about it. Any suggestions, Loyal Readers?

    Cough syrup. Sounds like a cold coming on, or maybe an allergy.

    You know, when you say "remove the uvula," it's is one of those phrases that sounds like it's really dirty but isn't.
