Troubled Throat

[sean]

Hi,

For the past 7~8 months I have had a lumpy, swolen and itchy throat. It comes on and off and sometimes just one side hurts to swallow.

I`ve been to my GP about 3 or 4 times and had numerous blood tests to see if it was other things but I have the all clear, he has checked my Adnoids and Tonsils but he says they are fine. Its driving me insane after over half a year of bad throat pains.

I dont smoke, I dont hang around smokey locations, I dont use spray on deoderant, and my house and bedroom are almost 100% dust free. I hoover my pillows regularly aswell.


Does anyone else suffer from this? Can anyone tell me any cure? Do I have the plague? :confused:

Any info would be appreciated, Thanks.

maybe you are alergic to something

There are herbal teas particular to throat problems. Have you tried those? Licorice and marshmallow root come to mind, but there are others. Some tea companies pre-mix several herbs together into a single package. The stuff works for me and my family.

How about a chiropractor? Sounds silly at first, but those guys have a way of fixing ear aches. Probably they can fix a sore throat too.

hi there,

sorry to hear about your problem. i don't know if this will help but you could try it out. it's called ''propolis''. when i have throat problems, even a mild cold, i take 10-15 drops of propolis with a little bit of sugar or water. my pharmacist also recommends it.

if you haven't so far, give it a try.

hope it works.

Thanks again :)

Sean,

If the teas haven't helped (hopefully they did) find an acupuncturist/herbalist near you. One of Chinese medicine's strengths really is dealing with complaints that western medicine deems okay because all of the lab tests check out. Hope that helps.
