What Causes Soreness And Itching Sensation In Throat?

hi, my throat has been bothering me for a few weeks now.. it started with just a very sore throat for two weeks and then it seemed to go away for a few days but now my throat is itching very badly and there are red specks in the back of my throat but i imagine that is just from itching it with my tongue so frequently

Hi dear ,

As per your query you have soreness and itching sensation in throat along with redness . The probable reasons for symptoms you mention in query is acid reflux . If there is heaart burm also then it is a gastrointestinal acid reflux disease but if there is no symptoms like heartburn then it is silent reflux also known as Laryngopharyngeal Reflux . Acid reflux is the contents of the stomach backing up due to defective functioning of esophageal sphincter . I would suggest you to avoid heavy and spicy food specially at night , ear at least one hour before going to bed , take light walk after every meal , eat small and frequent meal and take antacid like gelusil . Consult gastroenterologist for proper examination and rule out cause like strep throat . Doctor may order X-ray of upper digestive track or acidity measuring test . Doctor may prescribe H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitor .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
