Q: I am experiencing itching in my throat, ears, eyes and also skin.

The itching in my throat is constant.  All the rest is sporadic.  My skin is also sensitive to touch at times and get goosebumps.  This came on very suddenly and don't know what may have caused it.  Is this due to a food allergy or sinus allergy?

Hi there,

 

It is not possible for us to diagnose you over the Internet. That requires a physical exam and medical history done by a health care professional who can also examine you. So, if you are concerned, make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible.

 

Itching of the throat, ears, eyes and skin CAN be associated with allergies, but there could also be something else going on, so get it checked out, OK?

 

To your health,

Kathi
