Itchy roof of mouth, I think it's hayfever but tried all of the medicines! Any suggestions?
Posted , 3 users are following.
I first had hayfever in 2004 when I was 20, started using piriton, cetirizine, loretadine, currently on fexofenadine (which gives me nightmares). I've just looked at immunotherapy which I haven't heard of until now. Has anyone had this or any tips to help relieve the itching?
Tried eating icecream, cold drinks, numbing throat spray, I don't like honey (local honey is supposed to help). I'm scared to stop taking the fexofenadine incase any of the other usual hayfever symptoms come back (streaming eyes, nose, nose bleeds, blocked nose, etc).

If it's intermittent in any way, id suggest keeping a food diary. Things like allergies can do this. Include utensils you use to cook and eat/drink with as well not just the food
Hope it improves for you soon
God bless

Also, try changing to a chemical free non toxic toothpaste. Could easily have developed an allergy or sensitivity to whichever you use. Also makeup especially lip items, or laundry detergent for your bedding especially, or try changing your pillow/bedding. Dust allergies show in different ways. Is the itching worse at certain times in the day?
The winter comments interesting!
You're most welcome.

Fairy non bio is full of chemicals. We use eco balls. But there are others.
We know the feeling, doctors literally have laughed at patients symptoms. You know your body, just keep trying. And keep hope.

Not really heard of Eco balls so will take a trip to the shops later and have a look. Thank you for all your advice

Which country are you in? Most chemical free non toxic ones aren't always available in shops. Some like boots may do a select few, like Method etc. Online shops like Big Green Smile have a wider selection, however still read the ingredients as just because the store states chemical free or no nasties, I'm afraid it's not a hard and fast rule. Also, it's always worth baring in mind one can be allergic to natural things like chamomile.
You're most welcome. We've been there, still are! It's only through fellow sufferers one learns, doctors are too busy or uninformed.
Best of luck!

*Hi for anyone that suffers really bad with hayfever! I saw something on the tv and advised my daughter to try it and it worked as she suffers really badly! Its simply grapefruit juice mixed with pineapple juice! xx *
Be careful with prescription medications tho as you can't take grapefruit juice with some.

I used to deal with similar problems for a long time. You mentioned itching, is that on your skin/hands/legs or around the nose/throat??
I used to take cetirizine and fexofenadine for some time, but they made me very drowsy..
After a long time i stumbled upon a breathing exercise that deals with the symptoms of Nose /throat/ mouth.. and its amazing. I use it as and when needed and it helps keep flu like symptoms at bay.. I think its preventive role is the best use that i have managed to do so far..
If you think the idea exercise doesnot seem too weird or crazy, i can tell you about it... Its all about strengthening ourselves against other things, and not focussing on getting rid of other things from our life...
Anyway, if this isnt too absurd for you, then i can certainly help.
Cheers

Hi. Wondering how you're doing? Did you have allergy tests? Also Did you ever look into oral allergy syndrome? God bless

Hello, thank you for all your suggestions. I've started taking beconaise nasal spray as recommended by the pharmacist. Why the doctors didn't know to give me that I have no idea. Anyway, chemist said to try it as my nose and mouth/throat etc are all connected therefore using the nasal spray could help. It worked. It's amazing. I've been suffering for years and it's gone like magic! Although maybe the hayfever season hasn't quite kicked in yet, UK weather is so weird just now. Anyway, thank you!
