While I do have the first one - silent reflux - and have had it for years, my throat is sore from August and several ENT's couldn't give me any relief. Only relief I found was a diet - I was on one for 3 weeks and my symptoms subsided. Then I had an endoscopy which showed that my stomach is fine so I started eating bad things again and my pain turned back. However silent reflux is a problem with throat muscle LES, not stomach so I guess I have to go back to my diet.
But my throat is red on the left side and is burning. I also have lymph nodes on the left side of my neck slightly swollen (not enlarged per se, because they are no more than 1 cm, and doctor said to leave them alone).
But now I am scared that they might be connected to the throat problem and indicate something sinister instead of my silent reflux. I think I am headed back to my ENT. Last time she checked (2 months ago) she said I didn't have a throat cancer. But I didn't have those swollen lymphs back then. I also have nose congestion more on the left side and post nasal drip.
My other symptoms are subsiding, cough from bronchitis is getting better and I hardly cough at all. Also as I have let go the fear of lymphoma or leukemia I don't check myself for night sweats or itching. While I monitored myself for itching I sometimes felt it, but no more. I do feel fatigue but I am pregnant and it only started then. No weight loss, in fact, I've gained 3 kgs in last 3 months (and I am only 6 weeks pregnant).
I feel like I am losing my mind. But the throat does hurt and is very red on one side particularly. But then again I've had my sore throat on and off for years, like 4 years, at least. It's just it is the longest I've had it, better then worse, then better again, and then worse again. It's good that I can see the correlation with what i eat.
