What Are The Possible Treatment For Painful Sore Throat?
I ve had a very pesky and downright painful sore throat since Thanksgiving. I ve gone to 2 different med clinics, a military hospital, and even the ER at a civilian hospital (I m a military dependent.) I ve had 3 rapid strep tests done and 1 throat culture but still no answers as to what s causing the pain. I m a performer at a theatre and singing/speaking is my life. I don t know what else to do or where else to go!

Hello,
You might require a voice rest and avoid smoking and alcohol.Take antiinflammatory enzymes .
This can be because of voice abuse.
The other reasons could be nasal disease and reflux disease (ie acid reflux from the stomach in the food pipe).
You need to get ent consultation.
In doubt do reply
