Sore Throat
Sore/dry/itchy throat for 19 wks. Some days sore and some days itchy. Sore in my chest and throat when I burp.Not hoarse all the time but hurting/itching on either side of the throat so I have been avoiding speaking. No difficulty swallowing. Blood work good. ENT specialist did a nasaloscopy and MRI. They were clear. My GP that it may be stomach acid. On antacid medication for about 10 wks. Nothing is working. I am going for an endoscopy next week. Is there any need to be worried?
