Yes, I have hay fever allergies and I get itchy in the throat and also iches in the ears. I have also allergies to certain fruits. After eating certain fruits such as apples, peaches, prunes but it take off the peel it's OK.

Hi,I can relate totally....I get that often, mostly when sleeping.

It's probably more the ears that are itching...but it involves eustachian tubes and into the tonsils...maybe it's all referred itching or post nasal drip?

I used to use cortisone cream (script from my ENT), but have since switched to use hydrogen peroxide (3% drugstore variety), and use a q-tip dipped in the peroxide and kind of twirl it around. AHHHHHH!!! instant relief.

I've had them alllll my life since I was a kid. A total pain for sure.

Anyway, hope this helps.
