Strategies At Home![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20605%20453%22%3E%3C/svg%3E)
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![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20605%20298%22%3E%3C/svg%3E)
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.
