I have had a chronic sore throat for 6 months. Some days it's extremely difficult to swallow and I constantly feel like I have something stuck in my throat. My GP did blood tests, all clear. I was given Omeprazole for suspected reflux, changed nothing. I have had 3 different courses of antibiotics to no avail and even been given Nystatin and Fluconazole incase of oral and esophageal thrush. Nothing has helped.

I've had a phone consultation with an ENT Consultant who suggested it may be GERD and to try Omeprazole again, along with Advanced Gaviscon,  it's not helping.

I have a wisdom tooth which has caused me issues in the past, I'm wondering if this is my problem! Literally worried sick and can't get in to hospital for a scope due to the Covid situation. 

Sounds like the hell I had to endure last year- always trying to write it off as GERD. Tried Omeprazole, did not work so they doubled the dose - still didn;t work.  And ENT said it was not GERD so stopped these pills.  But all I was given was a throat spray and that was useless too.  Also had a throat scan later last year which showed nothing,.  Wish I could have other tests done, is it a muscle not working?  Who knows?

I so hope you can get into see ENT sooner rather than later, but this flipping situation we are in now, who knows when it will be. This is so unfair, I wish this stupid virus had never existed and we could all have at least been seen and helped.
