In the past two years I have developed a sore throat due to allergies. It affects the top of my throat mostly, though I sometimes get other symptoms like an irritated nose as well.

Unfortunately, it is not too uncommon to develop hayfever symptoms in adulthood and a sore throat is a common symptom.

There are a few things that might help to ease the problem, including:

- Mix hot water with lemon and honey for a soothing drink

- Try Echinaforce Sore Throat Spray - not only is this really soothing, Echinacea supports the immune system

- Drink plenty of water

- Try nettle tea, a natural antihistamine

- And look at using Pollinosan Hayfever Tablets - a natural option for dealing with hayfever that can be used alongside antihistamines.

I hope this helps. There is more information on this topic on my page – Hayfever and a sore, dry itchy throat.
