My palate is really itchy and has been this way for about a week now. It's insanely irritating. Only references on the internet I can find are to do with hayfever, but I don't suffer from it, and the pollen count is not very high at the moment.

I've had the same itchy palate before, but it's always gone away within a day.

Any ideas how I can relieve it?
I'm going insane here!

What are you eating/drinking that you dont normally it could be something as silly as a new sqaush with a weird ingredient thats annoying you go buy some periton tha will cure it.

I'm not sure about how to cope with the itching that you are experiencing. But, maybe it's possible that you are developing an allergy now that you haven't had before?

I've been trying to eat helthier and so have been cutting fatty and sugary things out of my diet.

I havent really eaten anything new, though. It kind of comes and goes throughout the day. It's always there when I wake in the mornings.

I could be anything Babes i get a itchy mouth after ive eaten peaches lol but im fine with necterines it could even be something as simple as a different toothpaste only you can work it out be eliminating different things and re introducing them.
Periton will stop the itching though.

Just know that what you are experiencing is a reation to something. An "allergic" reaction, even if minor. Keep a journal for about a month and note when you feel the irritation. Then see you doctor with the results. The journal should note anything from foods and drinks to scents and personal products as well as medications, vitamin/mineral/herbal supplements. Date it also so any seasonal and local climate happenings can be noted. You can't just keep a log of these items at the time you feel the itchiness, because the reaction can be delayed. In other words, the culprit could have happened prior to the impact. A month should be sufficient unless the doctor tells you different. Take this serious, because that itchiness can be the first action in your throught closing, an allergic reaction some people get to seafood / shellfish, sulfactes/sufites (found on fruits, pesticide residues) and a host of other items.

Words escape me to describe your indiscriminate behavior with "anything"!!! You must get paid very well to resort to such risky behavior!!

I sympathize with you, Capuchin; I have had episodes of palatal itching all my life (I'm in my 50s now) and it is so annoying that it deprives me of sleep. Mine tends to be seasonal, probably from leaf mold in the fall. Have you tried any of the OTC meds such as Sudafed? (Before you do, be sure your doctor approves, as it is not recommended for use in conjunction with certain other medications or for patients with certain conditions such as heart problems or hypertension). Fexofenadine (brandnamed Allegra, Telfast, Fastofen, or Tilfur) may also provide some relief.
