A tickle is caused by dryness in the throat. The dryness can cause coughing. To avoid this, drink plenty of room temperature water to keep the vocal cords hydrated. You may also try drinking warm lemon tea, with a small amount of honey before singing.

How do I stop my throat from irritating when I sing?
You should never sing from your throat—the power behind your voice is your breath, and your breath should be supported by your diaphragm. Sing from your core, allow your vocal cords to relax, and let your voice resonate in your chest, pharynx and face. Don't worry if this doesn't immediately make sense to you.
Why do I feel like coughing when singing?
Vocal cords enable you to talk when air held in your lungs is released and passes through the cords, causing them to vibrate and make sounds. In addition to affecting speech, vocal cord paralysis can cause coughing, a feeling of phlegm in the throat, difficulty swallowing and shortness of breath while talking.
Should you feel it in your throat when you sing?
You should never lose your voice after singing. You shouldn't feel tightness or pain in your throat. You shouldn't have to tense any part of your body to excess. It should feel GOOD.
