Tickle in the chest: Should it be taken for granted?

Strategies At Home

These strategies will help reduce the uncomfortable feeling in the chest or/and throat. A person should sleep with extra pillows to lift up the body, not lie flat on the back, avoid active and passive smoking, drink a lot of fluids, gargle with salt water, drink boiled water with lemon and honey in it. 

When To See A Doctor

Common cold and fever can be easily taken care of. If the tickle in the chest continues for more than a week, a doctor should be consulted because it could be caused by any of the above-mentioned conditions. If you are having irregular heartbeats then no time should be wasted in consulting a doctor because it could be something serious.

One should never take any symptom for granted, especially not with the kind of unhealthy lifestyle we live these days.
