Itchy throat and top of mouth. -
May 5th 2009, 12:17 PM
The top of my mouth and my throat really itches and its been like this for about a month/three weeks now, its really starting to irritate me. At times even the inside of my ears itch, or rather right behind them. And when its at its worst it feels like the whole inside of my head is itching and I can't do anything about it.
Mum thinks its because of the ferrets, but I've had them for almost a year now, why would the allergies from them start now?
I've also never been really affected during the allergy season or really much any time of the year. Most I've every been affected was a bad case of the sneezes.
Anyone have any idea whats causing it or what I can do to make it stop? I feel like I'm going insane.

I;m not really sure to be honest, have you been to the doctors?

Gah, I can't go to the doctors. I don't have any insurance.
gracias for the ideas though.

Hi,
This definitely sounds like indoor/outdoor allergies. I have severe allergies, and the most annoying symptom is the itching that seems to be everywhere. Even if you haven't had problems in the past, it is still possible that you developed new allergies. Perhaps there is a type of pollen out that you are not accustomed to?
If you cannot see a doctor, I would suggest trying over-the-counter Zyrtec or Claritin. Other than that, use Q-tips to rub the insides of your ears; I have also found that carbonated drinks help with the itchiness in my throat, so maybe give that a try.
Take care.

I'll never get over it,
but I'm gonna try
to get better and overcome each moment
in my own way"
