Allergy?

Apart from the ear ache, yes. There seems to be a nerve connection between the outer ear canal and upper back throat so an itchy throat can also reflect as an itchy ear - so that might be what you mean. I think allergies at the moment might be in response to black mold and other fungi releasing spores due to the time of year and high humidity.

Interestingly, earlier this year, Dutch researchers announced they had identified a new organ that forms part of the immune system, located at the back of the throat where the nasal passage meets, which is where my alergy mostly goes berserk. Now I know why.

Do you have health insurance?

Usually there is an option for an online video doc service and normally same day appointments.

I've used it several times in the past year. Cheaper and less hassle than going to a GP surgery depending on the issue.

I have hayfever which has been getting worse as the the years go by. I was put on 2 steroids (1 spray and 1 tablet) to manage them and they were great as the over the counter stuff stopped working. I started to wein myself off them about 2 weeks ago as I thought I was done for the year, however, my red eyes, runny nose, regular sneezing and sore nose/throat had different ideas.. 🙄 I expect its some thing to do with the weather being very mild at present

Could be nutritional deficiency specially B9. My grandma usually had lamb/cow liver once a week to balance that up.

That Avamys spray someone above suggested is great. My husband was constantly choked up for months on end each year - from about April to October. He finally got to the gp about it and was prescribed this. He describes it as 'life changing'!
