Difficulty In Swallowing, Sore Throat. Work Place Has Lots Of Dust. Allergy?

I have had a little trouble swallowing and when I sneeze it gets real sharp but then goes away. Its been like this for a few days and has gotten better but my throat is still sore. I haven't had the opportunity to go to the doctor because I work long hours. I work at a place that deals with a lot of grain dust and I'm hoping its just an allergy or something along those lines, but looking on here for other possible answers Help??

hello
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. As you have mentioned in your query it must be an allergy to grain dust but keep in mind that you need to have a throat examination done for this to rule out other possible causes like diphtheria and follicular tonsillitis or just simple tonsillitis or acute pharyngitis. I suggest you to have betadine gargle done daily 3 times and also levofloxacin must be taken if infection is severe. As that is a prescription drug you need to consult your doctor for this. Thank you.
