I can't find a solution for my chronic sore throat problem. It gets worse during winter or colder weather, but I always have this. I get like a lump in my throat, post nasal build up at back of my tongue, rasp voice like I swallowed a chunk of peppers.. Funny thing is that my nose does not get stuffy and it does not hurt when I swallow.
I tried salt/baking soda gargle. I tried the netty pot nasal irrigation. I went to an ENT doctor who said that I don't have tonsil problems to warrant removal, but that back of the throat just looked irritated. He gave me an allergy spray Astelin which in a way did help, but it started to give me side effects so I stopped using it.
Any recommendations on what to do next? I don't know if I should seek a different ENT specialist cause they charge an arm and leg just top peak into your mouth, but get the same answer again.
