Yes and it seems there isn't a thing that helps either!!! Tickly, scratch in the throat. I got me something called: "Magic Mouthwash". It's an oral lidocaine (numbing agent) that's rather thick so it has a coating effect on the throat. I put in a spray bottle and spray directly into / down the throat (I didn't want my entire mouth numb). Hope this helps. BTW: It's a prescription.
