Could The Severe Burning In Throat Be Cancer Symptom Or Due To Seretide?
My mother in law was sent home from hospital last night she has lung cancer, they gave her seretide to take at night and she has had terrible pain and burning in the throat. Is it the seretide or one of the symptoms of the cancer. She was diagnosed Sept 2009. We were told she can't be cured or operated on.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for cancer related throat pain.
Possibility of seretide related sore throat is more.
Inhaled drugs do deposit on pharynx, lyrnx and trachea.
If patient don't do gargles after inhaled treatment, these deposits cause sore throat.
So tell her to do gargles every time she uses seretide.
Don't worry, she will be alright with gargles only.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother in law. Thanks.
