Dust allergy
I've relocated to a city a few months back; from then on, I'm constantly having repeated throat irritation and itching. Is this due to dust?

It is likely that you're having allergies to the dust or having contaminated water. You would require antihistamines. These following steps may help:
- Do steam inhalation(plain steam) regularly
- Drink water at an average of 3 liters per day
- Avoid caffeinated and alcoholic beverages as they cause dehydration and will worsen your condition.
- Use a humidifier in your room
- Wiping the face regularly with a towel moist with hot water has also shown to help.

symptoms are suggestive of allergy. it could be the dust or maybe some sort of food you are eating. try using tablet like CPM or 2nd generation antihistamine combinations like montek LC when u get the itching feeling.
