What Causes Itchy Sore Throat And Chest Congestion?
I have been having a scratchy throat and feeling like I have to clear my throat for the past few days. My chest almost feels congested and full but it isn t productive. Kind of like something is stuck in my chest/throat. Could it be allergies? YYYY@YYYY

Hi there,
Sounds like you have the common cold. I'd give it a week or two before you blame it on allergies. No real treatment besides staying well hydrated and getting some rest. If it doesn't get better, you can try some over the counter benadryl, claritin, or allegra, which would help in the case or allergies.
