Suggest Treatment For Sore, Itchy And Dry Throat

My question is it ahs been now 3 weeks and though the symptoms lessened, I still have similar ones . I saw on a handout he gave me that it could take weeks and months to heal. I have not lost weight, I can swallow without issue, I do not choke or anything like that.
Is there a chance he may have missed something more serious. Do I need to still give this time to resolve? Is a second exam and scope recommended?
You are most probably having combination of allergic PND & LPR.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query , reviewed your medications and understand your concern.
As per your clinical history it appears that you are most probably having combination of allergic post nasal discharge (PND) & laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) . It result into chronic laryngitis .
If I were your treating doctor , I would advice
Saline nasal rinse or spray thrice daily ,
salt water gargle twice daily ,
Tab paracetamol for soreness &
Combination Steroid nasal spray with antihistamine 2 puff each nostril twice daily for allergy .
Continue Omeprazole .
You will get relief .
You can discuss this with your treating doctor & get prescription for Combination Steroid nasal spray .
No need to worry about any serious problem. This will require 4-8 weeks treatment to resolve completely .
No need for second exam and scope .
Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.


Thanks again
