Yes: When in doubt, it is better be safe than sorry. Itchy throat is not a symptoms for a cold however and one wonders if you are allergic instead. In the meanwhile, may try otc antihistamine

Itchy upper airway: Sometimes allergies will do the same. So its not a bad idea to have ur doc take a look. Some times asthma presents with itchy chest and throat at the onset.

My doctors says I have IBS but I have other symptoms like flaky scalp, on my ears and face. I also had a chicken skin like rash. I get these symptoms when I eat wheat/gluten. After I eat gluten I get itchy or an irritated throat or cold like symptoms?
