sore throat for one year now

a year is a long time. 

?i was dx and treated for gerd with no results by ENT no 1..  and it happened again and again.

?went back to ENT and had the little scope up the nose - he said i had Chronic lingual tonsilitus.  it is rare and the only two other patients he has with it, have auto immune disease like me ( i too catch everything that is going around and am sick for 8-12 weeks.  it's horrid and painful,. ppl who dismiss sore throats.clearly have not h ad one.   normally a sore throat only lasts 3 days.

?the ENT said the first ENT was young and probably had not seen CLT before. it happens after tonsils are removed which was when i was 5. i am now 60 and have suffered sore throats for a long time. but they are lasting longer and longer

PAIN RELIEF. medication

?SEEK second opinion

?having said that, my mother had lost her voice and there is no reason, for it. but it came back. she has lung disease.  but no throat cancer. we were both sick at the same time. but she is never sick at 85.

I joined this site to reply this message i was facing this exact same issue, infact for over 5 months, painful experience, so many antibiotics. But suddenly i had a brain wave(Thats all i choose to call it), it just occured to me that i should try eating ginger (since ive tried every other stuff anyway). Bought some ginger (fresh ones), broke a piece of it, peeled the skin and chewed, i kinda let the the juice just slide down my throat more or less targeting the infected area (it gives a hot sensation, nothing too much though), when i swallowed the chewed ginger also i just did it slowly. about 10 hours later (Overnight), the sore throat is nowhere to be found, i havent found relief like this in months..... Anyway the same hunch that made me go try ginger also moved me to open an account here and share my experience, i hope it truly helps many many people cos i can relate with the experiences of people here. Much luv and God bless. Tunde Adepegba

My Mother have a sore throat nearly 4 years now.

First three year she just fill hurt to swallow, visit doctors and drink medicine regularly, but still its getting hard to swallow day after day, not getting any better.

And finally she need to stay in hospital for threatment because she cannot swallow anything, event for a drink, but still not getting any better either.

She's back and forth stay in hospital 6 times in one year, do surgery, get nutrition, etc but still almost not getting better, there's one time when she got Albumin threatment, able to eat and drink normally, but its only last for a month before back to hospital again.

She's so skinny, only skin and bone since she cannot swallow anything, event her saliva, so she always spit it.

Now She need to use tube to eat through the nose.

We almost give up, since its not get any better.

I live in Indonesia, is there any better treatment out there?

(Sorry for bad english)

Hi fata! I am also suffering the same case as yours. I'm trying new things right now. Traditional medicine works for me with regular use of nasal saline solution.

Attention!!! This is how I won my 16 month Battle with thoat pain.

I've read all the theads and it's a lot of the same story, and what

I was going through too. I'll skip the details of the numerous remedies

I tried and failed with, and get straight to the term I hope you all become

Familiar with ASAP. So here it...... Histomine Intolerance......

That's it, Google that term and read every single word you can.

Get ready to be very confused about what you read. Here are tips

I can give that will help you....

1. Learn about bacteria in your gut, and probotics that effect histomines.

2. read all the food lists that are on the Internet, and avoid the bad foods that

appeare on ALL lists.

3. It's okay to Trust lists that say it's okay to eat something that is said to

be avoided On another list..... confused yet? It'll make sense soon.

** To clarify tips 2 and 3, you will find many lists of foods that state

What is okay to eat, Foods that should be avoided, and some that vary

person to person, if you See foods that are appearing in the avoid section

on every list, they should Definitely always be avoided.

4. Your going to be really bummed when you read what foods you have to

Cut from your diet, but on a good note, I noticed massive results within

A week, and have been getting better and better for the last 3 months, it's

Almost completely gone, with only mild flare ups, that were my fault

for going off diet. I went from unchanging 24 hour discomfort for 13 months to

Almost unnoticeable pain, maybe for a few seconds throughout the entire day, or

if I've been talking for a long time.

I almost don't think about it anymore because I barely ever notice it.

5. Stress was a big factor for me as well, exercise and positive thinking

Can only do good.

6. Stay hydrated. Drink lots of PH 9.5 water!!! Look for a water store and

Fill up jugs. Always have water on hand to sip on.

7. Don't chew gum or mints or cough drops

8. Get lots of fresh air

9. Get A good at home air purifier and non flowering/pollinating house plants.

10. Don't sleep with a heater unless you have a humidifier on. You want to

Sleep in 45 to 60 % humidity.

GOOD LUCK. Please repost this

Hi Fata81908,

?I have been living with sore throat for 11yrs now. In the begining I had fever followed by strip feeling in my throat. Since that time until last year, I have been taking antibiotics, antiacid drugs and anti-ulcer drugs all prescribe by doctors but my condition remained the same. I later understood that long years of using antibiotics had negative effect on my body because I developed stomach ulcer which was because of the fact that the good bacteria in my stomach was depleted and the antiacid destroyed the lining of my intestine. Fortunately last year, I decided to stop taking every drug I was using and searched natural solutions. Here are steps I took that has helped me:

?a). I increased my stomach acid by taking apple cidar vinegar and lime juice. I understand that the increase acid improved digestion and constrict the valve of the stomach leading to the throat.

?b). I stopped the consumption of all diary products and soy because the increase blaoting of my stomach which cause the production of gas in my stomach.

?c). I am using probiotics to increase the good bacteria in my stomach

?c). I sleep with slice of onions wrap in bandage around my neck. It stops or dissolves extra gas reaching my throat area. This was my biggest breakthrough, for the first time in 11years, the sore has started to reduce in size. I see sign of healing because the skin around the wound in pulling or closing the sore.

?d). Finally, I sleep with my head elevated.

I will follow the discussion to give updates after some months. Wish you speedy recovery.

Sore throats can be caused by many different factors. Viral and bacterial infection can cause it, But also rare condition like Eagle's Syndrome or also Sjögren's disease (a systemic autoimmune condition). This are some possible conditions to discuss with an ENT doctor or dentist. Specially to rule out cancer. I found an over the counter losange that is clinically proven to relieve sore throats. It is Strepsils. A 2015 study revealed that this over the counter losange can kill viruses and bacteria. Which can help heal the microbial infection. Hope you all get to what is the real cause of your discomfort. God bless!!!                     http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166354215002235
