I've been diagnosed with LP and OLP two years ago. I have been succesfully treated with Dermovate for LP and it disappeared totally after a couple of weeks.

Unfortunately I'm suffering a lot from OLP. I have terrible chronic throat ache and pain while swallowing for two months now.

My OLP specialist says it's not related and send my to a department for swallowing problems.

Does anyone recognize these symptoms? What can I do to relieve the pain?

    Hi I was also diagnosed with LP/OLP. which are under control whilst using dermavate. However I Was also diagnosed with silent reflux around the same time. This leaves me with painful sore throat, maybe worth speaking with ENT to rule this out.

    Good luck

    Has your GP given you a course of Omeprazole to rule out acid reflux?

    Thanks for all your replies!

    I will check with ENT about silent reflux. I have done a gastroscopy and results were negative. But I'll ask at my next appointment with ENT. I haven't taken omeprazole as I would prefer to get the correct diagnose first.

    Any suggestions to relieve the sore and burning sensation in my throat? Besides tea. .....
