A dry, itchy throat accompanied by nausea and dry heaving is commonly caused by allergies, inflammation, or improper diet. If a patient experiences throat itching and feels the urge to vomit while coughing, they may have allergic pharyngitis and should promptly visit a hospital to identify the specific allergen and avoid further exposure. Additionally, throat itching and nausea can also result from pharyngitis or local inflammatory irritation, or may be triggered by consuming overly spicy or irritating foods.
