Bit of a sore throat when swallowing,itchy ears,itchy eyes..strep throat or allergies? no fever,just feeling a little sick. do i need antibiotics?

Allergies: Itchy ears and eyes more suggestive of allergy than strep throat. Sore throat may be due to postnasal drip. Consider taking an antihistamine such as zyrtec (cetirizine) or claritin (loratidine) for relief. Antibiotics not warranted at this time.
