throat itch

I hope someone can help me with this before I jam a fork down my throat and start digging around.  The cost of an allergist is way beyond my means.  The symptoms of my allergies (grass, ragweed, dust, mold, cats and cockroaches) has always been itchy eyes, sneezing, congestion and an itch in my throat at the sides of my tongue about where the Eustachian tubes drain.  For the past couple of months the throat itch has become more like an attack of pin jabs further down the throat that makes me cough until I gag.  I don’t know what is out in central Florida in this time span that I may have developed an allergy to, but I really need some kind of solution to the problem.  None of the standard antihistamines help (Zyrtec, Claritin, Benadryl).
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
You can try some over the counter throat lozenges. A glass of lemonade too should help. The best treatment is to avoid the allergen. However it is not always possible. Certain masks are available in the market which you can wear to avoid the allergens from reaching your throat or you can tie a muslin cloth over your nose and mouth.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

There is a product for allergy symptoms such as yours called Formula 1 Foundational from King Bio Natural Medicine. I believe it is a homeopathic throat spray. I have never tried this product but I have had good results with other homeopathic products (for reasons other than allergy).
This Formula 1 spray costs about $15.00, so it might be worth a try. See if you can find it on the internet.
Good luck.
