Answer 1

It's most likely Fall allergies.  People I know with Fall allergies have been having symptoms lately.

Remember, allergies can show up at anytime in your life, whether you're 9 or 99.

Answer 2

This summer happens to be a very bad one for people with allergies, and it's quite possible that even though you've never had problems in the summer you have them now.

Start up your allergy medications, if you have any. Zyrtec is good, since it's over-the-counter now. However, it's still expensive, and if you don't feel like paying that much any other allergy medication will do - store brands are fine. And Benadryl is a life saver, quite often, even though it does make you sleepy.

Carry cough drops with you, they work great for those random itchy times. Drinking a lot of water helps, too. Also, vinegar-like foods are very good for your throat. Pickles and olives, lemon juice, anything like that will help you in the long run. They might sting your throat a bit, though.

If you do not feel as if this is allergies - or, you feel very sick and are running a fever or something - go to the doctor and get tested, because you might have strep.

One thing I want to alert you to, if you have allergy problems, is the possibility of a severe reaction. If your throat often bothers you during allergy season, you are a candidate. If your throat starts feeling odd - kind of thick, or perhaps like there is something lodged in there, and scratchy - and you start getting flushed, beware. What I mean by flushed is it should just be your face and neck, and it comes very suddenly, like it does when you eat sour foods. Your face will also get red, then. You should take allergy meds immediately because that means your throat is swelling up, which is fatal if you don't get treatment. Trust me, I've had it happen to me over 5 times already this year...it's not fun.

Best of luck with your allergies!

Its the developing stages of a cold or allergy. Just be sure to get plenty of rest and drink lots of juice and water. If it gets worst see a doctor.

It means you have a cold or your sick, to heal it drink lots of water and dont be in the sun a lot....get some medicen for the throat

Answer 5

Sounds like an allergy to me! It could even be from medication, or liquids or smoking. Call your doctor but if you try an over the counter allergy medicine like Claritin it should relieve it or stop it

Answer 6

I would assume it is from dehydration, be sure to be drinking LOTS of water...

Answer 7

Go to the doc. You may have strep.

Answer 8
