Usually, it lasts only a few minutes and then goes away.
But sometimes the itching can become overwhelming and last for hours, days or even longer.
Any symptom that interferes with your daily life is something that you should discuss with your healthcare provider.
Itchy Nose
There are a few conditions that may cause an itchy nose.
Itchy Throat
Anitchy throatis enough to drive a person crazy when you could’t get relief.
Throat lozenges and hard candy are a good option for adults and older children.
Itchy Skin
Itchy skin is more than just a minor annoyance for many people.
It can get so bad that it interferes with daily life and makes it difficult to function.
Depending on the cause, the itchy skin may be hard to treat.
If you don’t feel these causes apply to you, contact your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
