Chronic Sore Throat

Hi All, 

Just after a bit of advice, I've had a sore throat (especially when swallowing) for nearly 4 months now. Been to the docs numerous times, had 2 complete full blood tests (for all sorts), ultra sound of the throat/glands and also seen an ENT specialist who put a camera down my throat. All of which came back fine... But still the pain is there. Good old aniexty is 0telling me it still must be something serious although with all the tests which have been done i should be confident there isn't.

So question is, has any one had a viral infection which wouldn't shift/go away. Or could the anxiety just be causing this all along? 

Many thanks all in advance

  • hi  I have similar one side sore throat comes and goes but when the pain comes it can be quite painful if I lie down it feelslike something is pushing on the side of my throat and feelsweird to swallow 

    iv had full blood count done thyroid and liver functions allfine 

    an ultrasound of my neck as my gland felt enlarged 

    and that was clear waiting for camera up nose 

    tried to have Mri but I’m claustrophobic and couldn’t do so waiting for c t

  • Hi all you guys, I had a constant sore throat  and swollen tonsils since November 2018 when i had the flu. After a few months i went to docs and he gave me antibiotics, it didnt clear up ! A few mobths later i went to docs again, he gave me steriods and antibiotics. Still didnt clear up. Felt really rubbish, throat really sore, making me feel weak, my bones were aching like i had mild flu all of the time. He.ended up sending me to hospital. Ultrasound, xray, several scans later, still nothing wrong  found. 

    My doctor took a blood test for an unrelated matter, i was found to be viramin D Deficent. I started taking 1000mg of vitamin D everyday, and within 2 weeks my throat had virtually cleared up. After nearly a year i was starting to feel better .... unbelievable ! 

    I can't believe that that was all it was!

    Please try it, it worked for me , what have you got to lose but a few quid on vitamin D tablets !

    Im 46
