    Hi Jackie,

     

    Do you mean that you get hives on your palate? Or do you get an itchy palate AND hives on your skin?

     

    Some of these symptoms sound like oral allergy syndrome, otherwise known as itchy throat. There has been a long discussion on our site about this, with a response from Dr. Thompson. Read the itchy throat discussion thread here and see if what the readers are talking about applies to you.

     

    You can also find an article about oral allergy syndrome on the site, listing its symptoms, possible causes and possible solutions to relieving the itch.

     

    You may want to see if there is a particular food or something you come in contact with that causes the itch.

     

    You'll need to see your doctor and explain your concerns and what you learned to get a diagnosis for your problem. Come back and let us know what the doctor says!
