Accepted Answer

How : How do you know you are allergic? If the exposure is alot, medication may not help. There may be other issues going on causing your symptoms. Have you spoken to an allergist and have you considered allergy shots?

Question 3

does drainage from allergies give you a sore throat and make your ears hurt?

Yes and no.: Post-nasal drips may cause some throat irritation but it is the nasal congestion which may cause a middle ear infection.   You should check with your doctor to find out why your ears are hurting.

Question 4

do i still need to get tested if i think i just have allergies, and i know i probably dont have covid due to my safety precautions? i had a slight sore throat but its not that concerning to me. thank you?

Accepted Answer

Not necessary: If you are reasonably certain and you are taking good precautions, and/orüt BC no in isolation, the only reason to test would be if you were unsure of your status and needed to know for other people’s safety

Question 5

can allergies or a sore throat interfere with flying?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Allergies can lead to discomfort on a flight due to the pressure changes on the flight. Nasal congestion and pressure tend to be the worst in situations that involve allergies and pressure change. Make sure to use your allergy medication and nasal saline sprays if your allergies are acting up.

Question 6

is sore throat after petting a dog a dog allergy?

Accepted Answer

: No.   If the dog have a sore throat and you kissed it you might have caught it. One can give/catch COVID and other viruses from dogs but sore throat not a common symptom in COVID. Allergy would more likely be sneezing, itchy eyes. Protect your pets by wearing a mask (you not the dog) when you are ill.

Question 7

do allergies also cause a sore throat with some nausea?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Allergies frequently cause postnasal drip which can result in sore throat and nausea or upset stomach.

Question 8

what should i do about nausea/sore throat caused by allergies?

Accepted Answer

Post nasal drip: Usually the sore throat with allergies is due to post-nasal drip irritating the throat. Getting better control of your allergies with nasal medication or, more effective still, allergen immunotherapy, would address the root cause.  But in the short term, try a sinus rinse like a netipot and see if that can decrease the amount of mucus that drains into your throat.

Question 9

i have had a sore throat for over a month now cbc and all tests normal allergy meds not helping either?

Accepted Answer

What is the question: This can occur with some viral infections like infectious mononucleosis, cmv, etc.  Also may be due to dryness in air, mouth breathing, irritants being inhaled (try stopping smoking), excessive talking, acid reflux due to gerd, HIV infection and tumors.  It needs to be evaluated by an ENT specialist. Go and see one soon. Best wishes.

Question 10

i had covid last month now have sore throat on one side and it is red is this related to covid or is it my allergies?

Accepted Answer

: No way to know for certain, but after a month allergy seems more likely.
