Sore throat and itchy ears may be caused by acute upper respiratory tract infection and acute pharyngitis. 1. Acute upper respiratory tract infection: Acute upper respiratory tract infection is usually caused by viral infection in the early stages. The disease can lead to painful symptoms in the throat. At the same time, due to the pharynx from the nerve reflex effect, can also lead to the external ear canal deep itching sensation. 2. Acute pharyngolaryngitis: Excessive use of voice, prolonged loud talking, viral or bacterial infection and other factors can lead to acute pharyngolaryngitis. This leads to symptoms such as sore throat, hoarseness, cough and phlegm. At the same time as the sore throat, itching occurs inside the ears due to the pharyngeal reflex from the nerves. When a sore throat and itchy ears occur, there are other possibilities, and it is recommended to go to the ENT department to be examined by a doctor in the throat, as well as in the ear canal and tympanic membrane. The cause will be identified and targeted treatment will be carried out so as to relieve the symptoms of sore throat and itchy ears.
