End of December had FNA on thyroid nodule then developed a cold . After the cold went away still had swollen feeling in my throat ENT says it is mucous created to guard my esophagus due to gerd. Never any heartburn etc should I get a second opinion? Do not want to take Prilosec he prescribed. I am female age 64. Thanks!
Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is advise. I think you should do a esofago gastro scophy. An examination when a tube with camera is passed through esophagus to evaluate the mucosal lining. Only it can put the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
