persistent sore throat - ENT NEEDED

[Guest guest]

for yours i am not sure

but for your friend if it is continuing she needs to ask to see an ENT

to be sure this is not oral cancer, as you are describing classic symptoms of

it.

A friend has recently developed a persistent sore throat. She went

to the doctor and was given antibiotics, which seemed to help for a minute. She

again developed a sore throat and difficulty talking. She actually could not

talk for 3 days.

 

 

 

" Now for the last 3 weeks, I have been taking meds, but the sore throat will not

go away. I have no fever, no swollen glands - just severe sore throat aggravated

by talking. This is especially difficult when I have to yell at my 19 year old

son. "

 

 

 

Does anyone have any suggestions as to the cause? Her GP has no suggestions,

just more antibiotics.

 

Gratefully, Lynn
