I have vocal cord paralysis since December. My throat has been sore the entire time, sometimes severe.MY glands in my throat have been swollen the entire time as well. I saw an ENT and they viewed my throat and other than the vocal cords, nothing unusual. I also had a CT w/ contrast that showed many small nodes in my lungs that they will view again next year. My throat seems to be getting worse, sore and glands are getting bigger.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You maybe suffering from chronic allergic pharygitis or gastro esophageal reflux disease or cytomegalovirus infection or lymphoma etc. Avoid allergen, avoid cold exposure, avoid mites in bed. Avoid animal dander or pollen exposure. wear a mask while outside. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
