How To Overcome The Pain At The Back Of My Throat?

since a viral infection early In january I have had trouble speaking - projecting my voice and have a constant pain in the back of my throat. first GP prescribed anti fungal medication - didn't work, next GP sent me to an ENT specialist who stuck a camera through my nose and down my throat and said I had a very inflamed larynx and put me on reflux medication. After 3 weeks on that I still have the same symptoms. He had said if there is no improvement I needed to see a speach pathologist. Is there really no cure for this? Its been going on way too long and is very frustrating

welcome to hcm.
u dont need to worry much. its not uncommon after a sever viral infection to happen what u r suffering from. U seem to be suffering from reflux laryngitis what ur doctor told u. U need to take certain dietary and lifestyle modifications also along with medicines. try this with medicines:-
absolute voice rest for next 5 days,
avoid taking tea, coffee, beverages, hot and spicy and oily food,
steam inhalation twice daily,
gap of at least 2 hours b/w meals and sleep,
take fresh fruits and salad in diet
these measures will definitely help u. if it doesn't work, u will need a speech pathologist
