What you may be surprised to learn is that there are many other ways that allergies can present themselves. The common list includes sneezing and itchiness of the eyes and nose, but this list goes on to include itching of the roof of the mouth and ears, a fullness or popping sensation in the ears, muffled hearing, nasal congestion, facial pressure, headaches, scratchy throat and a hoarse voice. As you can see, these symptoms can often time mimic a throat, ear or sinus infection. Is it an antibiotic you need, or a daily over-the-counter antihistamine?
