Hello,
anxiety can cause more symptoms than most
people realise. I often get a sore or
swollen throat during most all of my high
periods of anxiety, and it usually lasts
untill something else crops up to take my
mind off of it. Try the usual anti
bacterial throat pastilles, or ones with
glycerine, it acts as a lubricant and can
be quite soothing.
The most important thing, and the one I
find very hard, is to avoid thinking about
it too much. Check back with the doc if
it persists for more than a few weeks.
