I've been suffering an itchy throat for 3 days already, I tried lozenges and tea with peppermint but nothing seems to work. What do you usually do if you had an itchy throat? Did it usually last this long?

Well my younger sister is having the same problem since last two days.Right now she is gargling with hot water and about to drink a tablespoon of honey with powdered pepper added.I am not sure whether this will help her or not to relieve from itchy throat but I am also hoping to find a good response and solution through your post, so I will keep reading this post.

I will say drink lots of water. It's good to keep yourself hydrated with water. Another way I do is to drink herbal tea with some honey. This may also help you in relieving your throat.
I will say it depends on situation. Sometimes, it will clear in 1 - 2 days, but I have got itchy throat before for 3 - 5 days too.
