Dust mites allergies?

Dust mites allergies question?

• After a year of headaches and a constant sore throat I was finally tested for allergies and found out that I have bad allergies towards dust and dust mites. The strange thing is that my only two symptoms are headaches and ongoing sore throat and nothing else (no congestion or watery eyes). Is this considered unusual or does anyone else on here experience the same thing with their allergies? Thanks in advance.

• Answer:

  I also have very bad allergies to almost everything I was tested for, including dust mites. My only good 2 months of the year are June and July (I live in SoCal). Around December/January timeframe there are about 3-4 weeks or so where I get a sore throat, coughing in the evening etc. I take Zyrtec and Benadryl in the evening anyway, but for the sore throat I gargle with salt water and take cough syrup. I actually don't know for a fact that the coughing is caused by dust mites, but I only get the sore throat in the winter. In the rest of the year I get the stuffy nose and asthma. I hope this helps!!!
