Hi I have a very itchy right hand side of my tongue and my right inside of my ear is sometimes itchy. I had this last year for at least 6 months but it went away before I went to see someone about it. It came back about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I m 29 and don t have any known allergies and don t suffer from hayfever. Any ideas?
Hello, I can understand your concern. The most common cause of itchy tongue and ears is allergic reaction. You might not be aware of it and usually one exposure to allergen cannot give allergic symptoms for 6 months. In this situation we can assume that probably you are having allergy to food item that you regularly consume. I would advise you to start antihistamines like Levocetrizine 5 mg (Exocet) once a day for 5 days. If you find relief, then it is allergic reaction only. In addition, go for a blood allergy test that will give idea regarding what food substances you are allergic to and will help you to avoid them. Also go for Complete blood count so that we can rule out infection as a cause. After the results, you can reach me back or see a dentist for further advise and treatment. I hope this answer helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Best,
