Why does my throat itch shortly after I've been infected with a cold?

The viruses are only particles after all, how does that activate the nozizeptive system?

usually you have a runny nose that drains forward out of your nose and it also drains down your throat. This "post-nasal drip" causes an itchy and sometimes sorethroat. Post-nasal drip (PND) occurs when excessive mucus is produced by the sinuses. The excess mucus accumulates in the throat or back of the nose. It can be caused by rhinitis, sinusitis, or laryngopharyngeal acid reflux. It can be enhanced or sometimes even caused by allergies, whether in spring, fall or early summer.

Hope this helps :-)
