Irritant dry throat for 2months

Hi. Basically i started off with the general signs of cold for about a week until they cleared. Ever since then for the last 7 weeks ive had a dry annoying throat, feels like ive got something stuck in my throat. Ive rang tue doctors numerous times now, they have checked my neck and throat and no signs of anything. They asked if i was depressed are had any anxiety problems, so i had a talk with mental health and come to a conclusion that it wasn't a problem. I am booked in for a specialist now as the doctors may have heard another of me now. When i eat it seems like food is getting stuck to the back of my throat but its going down my neck without problems. Anyone had the problem recently? Thanks 

  • Hello Philjnr

    I'm sorry to hear about the ongoing health issues that you've had recently. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about what may be responsible for the symptoms you're experiencing. 

    I know many of our members will understand how difficult the period of waiting for tests and appointments can be. It's good to hear that you already have an appointment with the specialist arranged and I do hope that you don't have to wait too long. 

    Hopefully, at the appointment, they will be able to give you some information and reassurance about what they find. 

    I do hope that you have some answers soon and that things begin to improve for you. Let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
