throat

Avatar m tn I have noticed every so often I will have a sore throat. It looks raw and unpleasant. Is it common to get sore throats? I thought maybe this was caused by the acid reflux going back into the throat??? Also I am on 5days of doing the prevpac and am wondering how long it takes to heal?
Avatar n tn I have had a sore throat for over three weeks and it has got much worse and now when I look in the back of my throat I have a red bubble, in the middle back near the thing that hangs down. I had my tonsils taken out about 4 months ago.
Avatar m tn The days following up until today (Sunday), My throat has been hoarse, I keep needing to clear my throat and now today my throat is sore. Can acid reflux be causing all of this? If so are H2 meds like Pepcid and Zantac ok, or are PPI meds like Prilosec and Prevacid better? Thanks and have a great day!

Avatar f tn See if you can get a prescription called omperazole it's for heart burn and acid reflux. I just got on it because of sore throats and it's amazing. Haven't had sore throat since. Worth a shot. It's safe to take.
Avatar n tn I had acid prob about 3month before and was taking aomeprazole 20mg, and had gone for endoscopy, but acid reflex stopped by itself and sore throat and pain it still there. I can advice us as I did, Dont take pasta as its made of tomato sauce, generates too much acid, I reduced rice food, no any soft drink or fruit juices, stopped eating chocolates and stayed away from garlic.I take cold milk soon after dinner or lunch, cold milk help to stop generating or diminish excessive acid.
Avatar m tn Hi, Someone has played mischief on you, there is no evidence to prove that sore throat can be reduced by sucking the genitals. There are many causes for sore throat, like long standing sinus problems, gastric reflux, recurrent infection of the pharynx and tonsils. Get yourself evaluated from an apt ENT specialist and also try taking medicines depending upon the cause. Drink plenty of warm water, avoid smoking and eating greasy food. Any more doubts you are welcome.
Avatar f tn I have had a sore throat now for about a week. The sore throat comes on about 8:00 p.m. It is very sore and makes it hard to swallow. It keeps me up most of the night. I finally get out of bed around 5 ish, drink a cup of hot coffee and within about an hour my sore throat is gone until around 8:00 at night again. Also in the morning then I am very hot and sweaty. Any suggestions.
1079987 tn?1258040916 Hi Meg, i have some sinius and Post-nasal drip (PND) issues that cause a chronic sore throat and cough. This is something some with chiari here seem to have in common however i could not say it is a symptom of Chiari or just coincidence.
Avatar m tn Hi im 20 years old i an occasional smoker and 2 days ago i started feeling my throat right and rough....next day got worse..i started having mucas and a little blood....does this sound like a smokers throat or something more ?
Avatar m tn I have been having that sore throat for the past 6 months. my symptoms are as follow. feel like there's something in the back of my throat like a little tiny rock going up and down but when i am trying to spit it out it will not come out.also, i have been very stressed out lately and i always eat late before i go to bed. Recently a lot of mucus has been running in the back of my throat,especially when i am taking that natural remedy called bragg organic apple cider vinegar.
6207205 tn?1389773318 i took medications and got well years later… 2 years ago i began having new issue, its the sore throat, it began in summer time 2011 , went to 3 ENT Doctors, took many anti-bio-tics and allergy meds … the last one made me a camera scan, entered from my noise to check all from the top of my mouth till the top of my stomach, he saw clearly all my throat.
Avatar m tn That too, can cause a sore throat....reflux can cause it as well....and by modifying your diet and life style can help calm the symptoms.
Avatar m tn Basically I have a white coated tonge, and when I speak my throat gets sore, dry and irritated. Do you think my vocal/throat issues could be reflux related? An ENT examined it and he said there was signs of arytenoiditis. This is having a huge negative impact on my life as I am completley dependant on my voice. I would really appreciate advice from you.
Avatar m tn (2) My major concern would be Gonorrhea and the failure of the above antibiotics to clear the disease and the possibility that I still carry the disease and that my symptoms sore throat and stopped/ringing ears will continue until I recieve more and different antibiotics. 120 days of symptoms and 3 separate courses of antibiotics and my symptoms seem to be intensifying. Would you consider this a possible treatment fail? Could I, in your opinion still be infected, if I ever was?
Avatar n tn Dr H provided an assessment that it was unlikely that I had throat gonorrhea or clamydia, I tested via swab and he was correct. I’ve never had a sore throat for more than two weeks and growing very concerned and tired from this ordeal. My Dr thinks its acid reflux and has prescribed medication. While I want to believe the diagnosis I find it difficult to accept since I never had reflux before the event. I asked if stress could cause it and he did not think so, if so I would buy into it.
Avatar f tn Both acid reflux/GERD and sore throat/feeling like there's something in the throat choking one, can be caused by thyroid inflammation. As already suggested, it's a good idea to see your doctor and ask for some tests to be done.
Avatar n tn I dont know but that has been happening to me a lot os well! I hope you feel better!
Avatar f tn Acid reflux and GERD can cause sore throat. Work on it with your doctor.
1519309 tn?1290956580 Hello me, and my girlfriend have had a sore throat with mucus drainage for about 3 weeks now. Does anyone have any idea what may cause this? Allergy season is pretty much over up here, and she is on Claraitin anyways so we are not sure what it could be. Or a remedy for it.
Avatar f tn Hello, for the past week i have been having a sore throat. It isn’t causing any pain nor is it causing any difficulty swallowing or breathing. It becomes alright when I drink any liquid, warm or cold for a little but then returns. I should also say that I am a moderate smoker. Could this be related to the smoking or something else.
Avatar m tn Another possibility is environmental pollutant like dust particles, heavy metal fumes, smoke, mold, old AC and even dry air can cause sore throat or throat irritation. Firstly, drink adequate fluids esp. before sleeping. Avoid exposure to harmful fumes or particles. Take lozenges and honey which will help to reduce the throat irritation. I suggest you to consult physician. Take care and regards.
Avatar m tn But you really need to make sure, and go to a doctor again cause Micheal Douglas had the same issue, sore throat, got it checked and they didnt see nothing, keep hurting and he went back and by that time he had stage 4 throat cancer. Not saying that you do or it even anything like cancer, but please go as soon as you can and get it checked out again, and be more thourough, and go to another doctor and get that second opinion. But like the other person, said tonsilitis is also an option.
Avatar n tn Hi---I have been to a throat specialist and he found no growths that would be causing me to have trouble speaking. I was diagnosed with a hiatial hernia many years ago. The throat specialist said my problems were due to reflux. I have no symptoms of reflux or heartburn. He said that didn't matter, it was still caused by reflux. ( I have been on Nexium, and Asteline spray for the throat. Very little help) The doctor did refer me to an ENT to have my stomach looked at.
1890554 tn?1322678048 I explained I was getting worse and that now I had an inflamed palate sore throat, and burning chest. I asked her if acid reflux could be causing most of my symptoms making them seem as an acute attack of asthma and allergies. She stopped and looked at me with huge open eyes. She said her sister had been diagnosed with asthma and treated with every med out there with no avail. Even had to carry her own nebulizer for months until somebody diagnosed her with GERD, she now lives a normal life!!!
