Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.In my opinion,itchy throat and ear which you are suffering from is most commonly due to seasonal allergy and the symptoms usually stay for a 7-8 days.Most common allergens are house mites,dust particles,pollens,certain food products like egg,milk,etc.

In my opinion,the most important measure to prevent the symptoms is identifying and avoiding the causative allergen.For this,I suggest you to get an skin allergy testing done in a nearby allergy clinic to identify the possible allergen.

I usually suggest my patients:

1.Anti-histaminic like tab.claritin at the start of symptoms for relief.

2.Certain foods can be responsible for allergy so keep a check on the onset of symptoms after a particular food.

3.Cover your nose and mouth in dusty areas.

Hope this solves your query.

Kindly rate my answer if you find it useful. Feel free to ask any queries.Take care.

Regards,
Dr.Tushar Tamboli
