itchy throat?

Question

i have a normal cold but i'm concerned about my itchy throat, ears and inside my chest. when i cough it feels like i'm scratching my heart area(internal) and the insides of my ears have been itchy for a week and a little sore. i feel absolutely fine apart from this. no fatigue or fever or anything else.

Answer 1

I know how you feel. One thing that tends to help me out is some hot water with lemon and honey with just a bit of milk. It wont cure it but it will help a little. Hang in there, it may take a couple of days for it to go away. :)

Feel better!

Answer 2

For the "itchy" throat you may try to gargle a couple of Alka-Seltzer's. Normally the itch is just on one side of the throat. Normally when I got an itchy throat I knew that a cold was too follow. When you cough do your lungs seem to have congestion?. If so you may need an antibiotic. This appears to be a bacteria infection instead of a virus. However; what do I know as I am not a Doctor. I have had that type itch before and it made me want to "gag". Good luck. Rody

Answer 3

Seasonal allergies and sinus troubles can cause the same symptoms as a cold. The itching in the throat, ears, and burning in the chest are common for these also. Try some benadryl or an antihistimine. A good, hot cup of tea or bouillon works well too.

Answer 4

I agree that it sounds like allergies.

There are some over-the-counter remedies that can help but the best course is to talk to your doctor about it. There are some prescription medications that can relieve the worst of the symptoms.

Answer 5

it sounds like you don't have a cold at all, but an allergy! i get that way when i'm around something i'm allergic to. you might want to try some allergy medicine. benadryl works best for me.
