I've had a sore throat since the beginning of November. I've been to the docs who visually checked it and said that its red on my right side and ever so slightly swollen. She said it's probably just a lingering, chronic throat infection.
It feels like a slight pressure just to the right of my Adam's apple. When I swallow, sneeze or cough it's worse. Sneezing particularly will cause pain.
I was wondering if it could be my acid reflux and scarring but I doubled my medication for that which GP has told me is fine to do if needed and no improvement.
One night I went to eat dinner and I hear a click on my throat and I found t very difficult to swallow for the rest of the evening.
I can wake up and hardly feel anything, but my evening, like now, it is quite painful even without swapping etc.
I'm worried it's something more and don't know what it could be.
How long can this sort of thing last? GP declined to give me any sort of antibiotics and told me to gargle aspirin, which I admit I haven't done more than once.
Taking paracetamol last night helped though.
Any advice? I'm having horrible thoughts that it's something more sinister.
