I'm in so much pain right now, I've had this throat pain on and off for years. Only way I can describe it is like tonsillitis, I had tonsillitis every few weeks for months about 15 years ago and I've had this feeling for at least the last 7.
I am hypo and I have hashis. I feel better some days then seem to crash like this, joints hurt, head hurts, throat is awful.
Is this just a hypo issue or does anything else jump out as a prob? GP says she can't see any infection.
I have had something similiar......mine was caused by indigestion....which I didn't realise I suffered from....the stomach acid had burnt the vocal chords....I went to ENT and they put a camera down through my nose to see......looking inside my mouth no infection or redness could be seen and I had had a sore throat for two years....six weeks of Davison morning and night have erased the pain.
I'd never considered an allergy? Davison?? What's that?
Did you feel really unwell with it? It always corresponds with me feeling very poorly/symptomatic.
Ditto! I kept losing my voice too which is understandable with the burnt voice box! Apparently a high % of the population don't know they have reflux as they have no symptoms or don't recognise them. Omeprizole has helped but optimum thyroid meds is vital. Another clue is a phlegmy cough after you have eaten.
It sounds a bit glandular feverish. Have you had it?
I had something similar for decades. A herbalist thought it was stress, a GP prescribed Valium (this was a long time ago!) Eventually it was investigated properly, and nothing could be found.
There's something called - mind has gone blank - it's what @willowland has suggested, I think. Laryngeal something reflux. LPR??
Hi
If it is not your nasal passage being blocked or an allergy then I'd guess it's a side effect of being hypo. ( or both the last two)
Lots of patients have it. Sore throats sinus infections etc.
Try adaptagens like elderberry and cats claw. And use organic apple cider vinegar- diluted to swill your mouth and throat. Works a treat and no side effects. All can be used continually. I tried it and it makes such a difference.
Good luck x
It's Gaviscon! My kindle must have spell corrected. It's worth a try......It wasn't until three weeks of taking the Gaviscon that I started to feel a slight improvement ....now seven weeks later I still get the occasional pain in my throat generally because I have forgotten to take it.
You have to be careful with thyroid meds and gaviscon don't you?
Are you on steroid inhalers for asthma? I had a very painful throat and it turned out to be thrush due to that. Anti fungal lozenges solved it for me.
Under active thyroid for 14 years now feeling of tightness in throat
Sore , dry throat
Reoccurring throat discomfort
Recurrent throat infections...thyroid related?
