Upper respiratory infection: saline nasal wash, salt water gargle, lots of fluids and rest, acetaminophen for fever / pains, unless allergic to it, if not better in a day or so, or new symptoms or getting worse see your doctor, good luck

How long?: Itching is often associated with allergy. If you have had these symptoms for more than 2 weeks or they have been recurring, they are likely from allergies. Consult an allergist to find out what may be ailing you and whether you may have asthma as well. If there is a family history of allergies, then your chances of having allergies get much higher.
