ITCHY EAR CANAL

What May Be Causing It?
Probable culprit: sudden onset of seasonal allergies. Allergens trigger a histamine reaction and produce the same type of allergic itching that makes your eyes or nose itch, but in this case, you feel it in your inner ear.

How Can I Get Some Relief?
Over-the-counter antihistamines are usually the treatment of choice.

Do I Need to See a Doctor?
No, over-the-counter medicines should work. Exception: If it persists or you have chronic ear problems related to your allergies, consult your doctor.
