Pain In Ear And Throat. What This Could Be?
My husband has had pain in his ear and throat for over a year. He has had an endoscope ran up into his nose to examine his throat. The ENT doctor said there was a dry area on his throat but everything looked okay. His pain continues to increase. This pain started when our GP started him on a new medicine for HBP. Any ideas on what this could be?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your husband, If I would be of his doctor then I would treat him with the proton pump inhibitor "Omeprazole" is drug of choice 40 mg just at evening time will reduce his symptoms, acid reflex disease causes this symptoms which is very likely to miss, hope this will help you have nice day.
