What Is Persistent Pain In Throat Suggestive Of?

Hi my throat has been hurting for about 2 weeks . Its not a soar throat it feels like a soar throat at beginning stages but doesn t get worst. I did go to my doctor and she thought it might be part of acid reflex, because I also mention to her the I was getting pain between my chest bone on and off. That has gone away but I still feel my throat..
