Allergist and Immunologist (Pediatric) Questions Throat Disorders

My daughter's throat is always scratchy. Who should I take her to see for some help?

My 8 year old daughter has a scratchy throat nearly every day. It makes her very uncomfortable. Should I take her to an allergist or to an ENT? She never had allergies before; I'm not sure where to turn to for help for her.

I would probably start with an ENT.

You should take her to an allergist first being that a scratchy throat is typically an allergic symptoms. If the allergist finds nothing, they will send you to an ENT.
