I've read loads of cases of itchy throats and ears in together, but mine is slightly different. Please let me know if you have the same:

I get this furious burning of the upper palate and back of the throat where I have to make this "kkkkklllskhkh" grunt or frog ribbit to ease the itch. I also have to prod my ears and almost burst the drums to stop the itching. On top of this I get a raw patch appear on my tongue, which lasts about a week and then disappears.
After a violent about of grunting, I sometimes spit blood. Obviously, this sends me into a blind panic and is no good for my nerves.

My doctor gave me steroids and told me I had 'geographical tongue', which he only worked out because he googled it in front of me! I can't help thinking the tongue and throat all links somehow. The steroids were rubbish and the itching is STILL there. Anyone have any ideas? P.S. It's not dairy.

I forgot to say - does anyone think this might be related to washing powder?

HI, I have had these symptoms because I suffer from Candida Albicans. Look this up . It is an overgrowth of yeast. Do you eat a lot of sugar?

Yes why?

Its an allergic reaction mine is due to lots of different allergies including onion powders, garlic, horseradish, wood dust, etc etc
The reaction usually follows a period sensitivity such as a cold .It does subside but if you are allergic to animals etc. the source of the sensitivity it will not ease. The only thing I have found to ease the condition is to garggle with strong salt waterI sympathise the condition is enough to drive you mad!!

I get hay fever and rhinitis, recently I have had irritation in my ears and a tickle at the back of my throat. Its been driving me nuts. I eventually decided to completely stop poking around in my ears and to put lots of olive oil in them, so it trickles right to the ear drum, repeated a few times a day.. I am glad to say its really calmed down. I now actually think the sore throat was because of something going on in my ears.; although that seems counter intuitive; it makes sense from what I am finding on line.
