What causes itchy gums and ears when you have a really bad cold and cough? post nasal drip too?

Allergies?: A bad cold is not expected to cause itching but an allergic reaction is. You problem is likely from an allergic problem and the cough from post-nasal drips and/or asthma. See allergist if these have been present for more than 2-3 weeks.
