One Tiny Sore Spot In My Throat Posted: 11-08-04 11:38am
Was wondering if anyone has any wisdom.
About two months ago a small spot on one
side of my throat started getting sore.
It last a week and then went away. Since
then it's come back for a day or so, then
goes away for two days, then comes back.
No other symptoms. Pain is mostly really
mild...Almost a dry irritation rather than
pain. Occasionally at its worst it gets
to maybe a 5 or 6 on a scale of 1-10.
Two years ago I had a protracted sinusitis
bout...Lots of sinus symptoms. The last
three weeks found my throat with a single
sore spot every other other day...But it
usually moved around in my throat. This
time it's in one spot and didn't seem to
follow a bout of sinusitis. Again, no
other symptoms...Swallowing isn't
difficult (usually makes the throat feel
better). I don't use any tobacco
products.
Finally, i've always suspected I have a
deviated septum; i've never been able to
breathe through both nostrils very well.
I sleep w/breathe right strips at night to
avoid having to breathe through my mouth.
I've had this condition seemingly foverer
(i'm 43).
I'll likely see my dr in the next few days
if the bizarre sore throat spot doesn't
abate, but was wondering if anyone here
has any wisdom. Thanks.
