A member asked:

When you have itchy throat and ears, is it allergies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Usually: Whenever there is itching, an allergic reaction is high on the list as a causative factor. The next step would be trying to find out what are causing these symptoms. Consider seeing an allergist if this has become bothersome enough to you.
