Pain when swallowing

Hi all,

I'm in remission from CLL. I get lots of bugs and I thought a long term cough was a bug. My chest is clear but it's my windpipe that rattles. My voice is croaky and I've been getting a really sore neck/ears from mid afternoon. This has been getting a lot worse and it hurts to swallow. It gets better in the morning. I saw the GP today and I asked if it was reflux. I've been taking ant acids for a couple of days.

The GP is referring me to get my larynx looked at...not sure if they'll check my half a thyroid too. 

Any ideas? 

  • Hi Nix67,

    Sorry to read the difficulties you're having at the moment. Unfortunately I'm not sure what it could be or exactly what they'll do at your appointment. Do make sure you discuss any questions or concerns with the doctor when you see them.

    I hope it all goes well and that you're able to find out more soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
