Hi,
Yes seasonal allergies can also cause these symptoms.
You need to discuss all this in detail with the specialist - let us know how the appointment goes and what your doctor advises.

Thanks for the reply. I actually have an appt but it's not until next week. I guess my biggest conern is the throat tightness and the lump in throat feeling that comes and goes. I notice if I'm indoors (like during the weekends) it's not bad usually. But as soon as I'm outside the throat itchiness comes and then within a couple of days the throat tightness is there. I know food allergies can do that but can seasonal allergens also cause that type of symptom?
Hi,
You could still be having the sinusistis which could be responsible for post nasal drip causing the throat itching. It would be best to get yourself evaluated by an ENT specialist to rule out sinusitis.
You should try warm saline or betadiene gargles daily and see if it helps with the itching.
Let us know how you are doing and if you have any doubts.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
