A never-ending sore throat CAN be a symptom of allergies. It was in my case; I never realized I had allergies, because I thought allergies meant lots of sneezing and watery eyes. When I sought Tx for my tonsil my ENT said he could tell I had allergies by looking in my nose and throat. My Tx story http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/teresadillon
