The itching sensation that people associate with that sort of cough happens before the esophagus and trachea split. Its why even drinking water or sucking on a lozenge can help with an itchy throat. A warm beverage with honey will help. Even yogurt can help. I remember watching a live broadcast of a radio show and all the host had honey and yogurt in front or near them.
But if a person is sick and has a lot of mucus build up in the lungs or trachea, that stuff is really just a minor remedy. It whys cough syrups have an expectorant in them.
