Burning in back of throat; is this an allergic reaction?

Burning in chest and throat allergies?
My son has terrible allergies that he gets asthma horribly from them during certain seasons. over the years just being on top of his allergies i have read a lot and picked up certain things. one thing i learned, is when you have one allergy you may be prone to others and they can develop out of nowhere and go away.one thing a remember because i found it interesting is that certain indigestion can be due to allergic reaction and tums or antacids are antihistamines. I do hope i am recalling that info correctly. but that burning in chest sounds like it could be acid reflux. try some tums and see if it does the trick. and if it does definitely consult your allergist and see if the indigestion reflux is an allergic reaction to something. possibly google the info i just gave you to see if you get a more concrete exact explanation of what i'm trying to recall. you may be able to compare your symptoms.
Burning feeling in my throat after drinking apple juice?
Alright. So for the past six months I've been scared to death of apples because of a strange experience I had. I drank apple juice, and it made the inside and outside of my throat feel like its burning... no swelling, or anything. Throat just felt hot... I thought perhaps it was some other ingredient in the juice. But when I drank Mott's Apple Juice (which is just apples and water) the feeling happened again. Is there a logical explanation for what had happened? Just so you know, I have a panic disorder and an intense fear of alergic reactions. I need to know what happened so that I can rest easy!
Why do I get a sore throat after eating peanuts and I am not allergic to peanuts?
You might actually have an allergy to peanuts; a ‘sore’ throat or throat pain can actually be the start of a throat reaction/swelling from ingestion of an allergen. Allergies work on a tolerance basis—maybe you can tolerate the amount you’ve eaten so far, but unfortunately if this is an allergic reaction, if you exceed the formerly tolerated amount you could have a very serious reaction/anaphylaxis. If you have felt this symptom with no other possible explanation, I’d recommend you see an allergist and go through skin and blood testing for a peanut allergy, including a component test for the peanut proteins (this can tell you if your allergy is more or less likely to result in an anaphylactic reaction). Unfortunately apart from component testing (and all testing can be inaccurate), in the allergy community we are told to say there is no ‘minor allergy’ to a food especially one like peanut because reactions are unpredictable. There are too many stories of kids and even adults with a formerly ‘mild’ allergy who suddenly have a more severe reaction and end up dying because they don’t have an epipen with them.The good news is even if you’re found to have an allergy and fail an in office food challenge (the next step to see if you really have an allergy or not—eating larger and larger amounts of a food every 20 minutes in the allergist’s office with constant monitoring and a 2 hour wait period after completing it to see if you’re in the clear), you at least at this point seem to already have a pretty high threshold for the allergen. Today’s newest allergy theories are all about increasing a tolerance threshold with oral immunotherapy, or OIT. OIT for one allergen takes approximately 4–12 months of weekly updoses but at the end if you pass a 24 peanut challenge you’re considered ‘free eating’ of peanuts again—though you should also follow the OIT drs. orders about how many peanuts you would HAVE to continue to eat every night in maintenance/after graduating to continue to stay desensitized to peanuts.If you do test positive and fail an in office challenge to peanut and your allergist doesn’t do OIT for peanuts yet (so many don’t yet, but that’s going to change at one point, I predict), see OIT 101 - TREATING FOOD ALLERGIES WITH ORAL IMMUNOTHERAPY for a list of board certified allergists doing OIT in the U.S. and Canada now.
Why does my throat burn after eating ice cream???
it could be a reaction/allergy to a food additive like a preservative or a coloring agent. some emulsifiers that are used in ice cream can cause minor reactions... check the labels, see if there's anything chemical that they all have in common, try to find one without it, and see if you react differently, try to eliminate the possibilities. if it doesn't bother you, don't stress about it.
Why does smoking cigarettes burn my throat?
really? ok, I will play along here. because the smoke is irritating your throat. that causes lesions and you can get throat cancer, lung, mouth or tongue cancer, and others. rub a price of sandpaper on your arm. or, imagine it. your arm woild get scuffed from the irratation. if you continue to do that daily for as many cigs that you smoke, it would never be able to heal and can cause infections, scars, or such other damage. look at a smoked meat item, or what happens when you barbeque something. it turns black. the best recommendation is to work on quitting.
