I sometimes get an itchy palate near the back of the roof of the mouth.
Lately I will get this feeling for 1-5 minutes for no apparent reason.
Then 1-2 hours will go by and I'll be fine. Does this mean I have an
allergy? Or is it a manifestation of a common cold?
I had hay fever as a child every summer but I lived in a smaller town.
I would get itchy palate, running nose, sometimes irritated eyes but
that was 25 years ago.
Is there a nonprescription treatment for the itchy palate? Like that
spray medication you would use for a sore throat?

Some fruits cause my mouth to bleed (small pimples).
I was told it is an allergy.
I forget the specific mechanics but apparently it is the kind of
allergy that you are predisposed to but which certain childhood
exposures combine with the predisposition (which I vaguely recall to
be a certain gamma immunoglobulin). Which means that if my mouth
bleeds from apples my cousin in another part of the world would have
the exact same response to a totally different fruit.

PS, what I do when it
itches is "grunt like a pig".
It relieves the itch.
And yes, it sounds like allergy.
