Hello,
Thanks for the concern. You have itching on the whole body suddenly at night with thick sensation in mouth which last for 15 mins. It might be due to sudden allergic reaction. The reason for this may be exposure to sudden exposure to allergen. Allergen may be any like dust, food, cloth. You should try to remember and try to catch the cause by just recalling the incident or thing which cause such allergy.
For such allergic reaction you should immediately take antihistaminic drug like cetrizine, pheniramine maleate and steroid which will suppress this reaction within short time. And try to avoid the exposure of allergen which causes such reaction.
If such allergic reaction reappear more frequently than you should immediately consult the dermatologist and do allergic test and try to find the cause and start treatment accordingly.
At present you should not worry about such allergic as this condition may happens very rarely. But try to find the cause of such allergic reaction by recalling the situation.
Hope it might help you. Take care
