Pain in the left side of throat near Adam's apple

I have sore throat now for 10 months and I have been to 2 physicians, 3 ENT's, 1 Gastroenteorologist and 1 Allergist. When the sore throat first started I thought it was a regular sore throat and did gargle with warm water and salt. Next day I felt that the salty taste in my mouth was still there and my mouth was really dry. After months with salty taste, dryness in my mouth and also the sore throat, i went to the ENT. Like all ENT doctors he also prescribed me heart burn pills, very strong doses of Omeprazole and Zantac. The only thing that went away was the salty taste in the mouth. The sore throat had  intensified and also along with the sore throat i have very dry throat so I drink lots of water day and night. I went back to the ENT (same one) and he asked me to continue on the heart burn pills because he thinks that the acid reflux is causing irritation on my throat. As I do not feel any acid reflux or heart burn, he said the acid reflux/heart burn is silent, which I thought was strange, but I continued on the medication anyway. A month has passed and no results. This time I went to the gastro and asked her if we could do heart burn tests. She ordered endoscopy, which come out with no acid reflux/heart burn at all. But she found out that I had irritated esophagus and she ordered a biopsy. Turned out that was inflammation, so she ordered a CT of my neck. It turned out that I have small inflammation in the throat and she asked me to return to the ENT. This time I went to a second ENT. He analysed my throat and looked into my CT and referred me to a speech ENT (I forgot to mention here that the 1st ENT said I also have raspy voice, due to raspy vocal Chord box. I also have arthritis on my neck and intense pain because of that). The speech ENT, which is my 3rd ENT, looked inside my throat and did some tests with my voice. He said he did not see anything unusual and the inflammation that shows on the CT is almost nothing. He than asked me if I perhaps changed mattress and pillow of my bed. I said yes, we did get both new and firm mattress and pillow months before my sore throat started. He said that it could be a trauma on mussels of my neck that is causing the pain, caused by the firm mattress or pillow or by my arthritis and asked me to sleep in a different bed. He also prescribed me physiotherapy with a special therapist. I am changed only the pillow).I realized a liitle less pain on my arthitis, but no change on my sore throat and dryness on my mouth. I will start physiotherapy in about a week. I went to the allergist and the results are that I do not have any type of allergy. Let's see what happens next. I will keep you posted. God bless everyone and let's not lose our hopes!

Hi there .I have the same exact aymptom and on the same medication as yours .I started having this pain one year back and since that it come on and off .I have visited my physician quite frequently and he told me there is nothing abnormal on the outside by doing physical examination but he told me that my throat is very reddish which is abnormal . But I'm very worried that it may be cancer as my family got some history with cancer .now I'm on a medication for one week. He told me if the pain is still there he will issue me to go for a scope and also a scan .

I have a similar condition, my throat is sore on the left side i think its my thyroid but on the right side its not so much sore, the left side is only sore when i lift up my head or when i feel with my fingers on my throat just next to my adams apple.

I also noticed sometimes when i spit that my spit looks a bit redish like theres blood in it.. when i cough theres no blood and i dont see that my teeth is bleeding either, this happens like mybe 10% or 20% of my day the rest of the time my spit looks clear and normal.

Im a smoker and ive been smoking for about 10 years now, im an occasional drinker i dont love drinking that much, i have also smoked weed way back like 3 years ago just recently in the last 3 months or so had some weed twice but that was that havent smoked again since

Im really worried about this i hope i dont have a serious problem like cancer.

Can anyone please please help me

Does anyone else have this going on!? I believe it all started at the end of July. Randomly I started getting these sharp almost like stabbing pains in my left inner ear that would happen periodically through the night and then it felt like I had a hair stuck in the back right side of my throat. Woke up the next day and both symptoms were gone. A couple weeks later i lied down and a strange heat sensation almost

Like someone holding a torch to the left side of my throat that tended to get worse when I had anxiety over it. It didn't hurt to eat or drink anything and nothing was swollen that I could tell just this heat sensation. I would wake up and it would be gone then after a few hours it would come back again getting worse w anxiety. This lasted for about a week then went away and a couple weeks later my left ear became muddled. Can hear fine out of it just sounds weird when I talk. Doesn't happen all the time and only happens when I am standing or sitting upright. When I am lying down it doesn't do it. And now I have that heat sensation back in the left side of my throat. Now I may add my stress and anxiety are through the roof bc of this and I have been having bad acid reflux. Not so much heartburn. I haven't been to the dr yet! Planned on going tomorrow but I know alls they're going to do is prescribe me antibiotics and antacids or Prevacid and send me on my way..can someone help justify what's going on w me! I never really get sick don't smoke and only drink on weekends.
