Hi, I am a 43 yr old female who has a long history of allergies and was diagnosed with euctachian tube dysfunction in high school. Usually when I have episodes with my ETD it's because of high pollen count, a cold, or having traveled on a plane. I have had my current episode of ETD (clogged ears, feels like water in ears, sometimes it gets a little heat in the ears) for about two years straight now. I recently (a few months ago) started having a regular scratchy throat and found on the back of my throat a small red spot. I am assuming it's from Post Nasal Drip but my hyper active brain keeps getting me worried that it's some sort of cancer of the throat. I haven't gone to the doctor about this in the last two years because I don't know what can be done for it any more. Some Drs have told me in the past to get used to it because it's my allergies (I didn't have the scratchy throat and red spot then though). What do you suggest I do? I do use a neti pot daily and am using NasalCrom daily as well in the hopes that if I can open the eustachian tube the redness, bump, and scratching throat will stop but so far I am having no luck at all. Your advise would be appreciated.
