You know how your throat will itch way inside to the upper right or left, and you can't itch it? Well, that's what mine is doing, along with the constant itching of my inner ear. I can't reach the itch and it's driving me crazy! It's been going on for 2 days now. I also can feel my inner ear kinds of like spasm sometimes (I think from the itchy sensation). What is up with this? It doesn't hurt, and I don't have a lack of hearing at all.

You did a good job in your description. I know exactly what you are talking about. Hate that friggin' feeling too. Sorry you are so uncomfortable.

Sounds (no pun intended) like allergies. Try taking benadryl or sudafed for a day or two and see if it starts clearing up.

Regarding allergies, we can develop new ones and outgrow old ones throughout our lives. If spring is beginning in your neck of the woods, there might be something outside irritating your system.

Yeah spring is showing it's face. I've never really had allergies before except for winter allergies (mold/mildew). But I will definitely try this. Thanks for your advice!

Recently I have been experiencing the same problem. Its to the point where i jabb my forefinger into my ear shake it around while grunting to soothe the itch in my throat. Its looks pretty ridiculous in person!!!

I am a nutrition major and I heard from a holistic nutritionist that this is actually an allergy to dairy! I knew I was lactose intolerant because I would get terrible gas from eating dairy. She said that allergies change as we expose our bodies to more and more of a substance until we are severely allergic later. I suggest you document when these reactions occur and note what you have been eating and the time it occurs after what you eat. Mine come about 45 minutes after I eat some form of dairy. The other and more expensive alternative is to go see an allergist and ask their opinion. If you are in fact allergic, you should cut out all forms of dairy from your diet unless you want to deal with the intense itching...

I hope this helped!!

thats really funny i have had the same exact problem....i have resorted to stickin my finger in my ear and shaking it around and not chewing up chips when i eat cause i like how it feels when it scratches on the way down lol. its only been 2 days with this but if you guys figure out exactly what it is let me know...and i am definately not allergic to dairy i have eaten that in abundence my whole life

No question it's allergies. Claratin over the counter is excellent. But you should try to get to an allergist and have a "scratch test" done to find out what you are allergic to specifically.

Yeah I have the same thing I hate it. Sometimes my eyes itch as well but i don't think that has anythng to do with it. Im very resistant to the gag reflex and sometimes actually stick my finger into the back of mouth just to itch it. I think mine might be a dairy allergy. That makes sense except I had a muesli with yoghurt for breakfast and it didn't itch till after lunch so it was something in my lunch but nothing dairy...what else could it be an allergy to?

I am suffering from this aswell, I find it starts in the left side of my throat then it's in my middle ear. It's so F**king annoying lol. I rub the outside of my ear so excessively that I get ear ache, in the end! It starts annoying, then ends up being painful! I'm going to go to the doctors' tomorrow! They will hopefully be able to help me! :s

Hey, I know exactly what you guys are talking about and i've been suffering from allergies for years. It may not always be from dairy products because i've developed lactose intolerance but from other things as well that i may not know about. I went to my ENT specialist because I've been suffering from the inner ear itchiness, day in day out, throat itchiness, then my eyes begin to itch. For me though, it never gets painful it's just painfully annoying. At nights i'm always trying to scratch my throat by making some kind of wierd noise, or use a q-tip to try to hit the spot and when it gets horrible, it's hard to swallow or my nostrils dry up so quickly that it's difficult to breathe properly through my nose. Then my nose begins to itch so i'm going crazy at this point. Sometimes I just want someone to knock me the f*** out. Like give me an uppercup straight through my face preferably my nose.

So anyway my ENT specialist told me my tonsils are very big and the passage way is very tiny. He checked my ears and he said he could see some kind of blockage because of my tonsils. And he was like honey, your tonsils look horrible, you need to remove them. I can't wait. I'm nervous about it but I can't wait. Anything to stop this major irritability, or I will ask my bf to give me a punch straight in the face to knock me out. Seriously.
