What Is The Cause Of A Throat Pain?
I have been having a dull pain in my throat I guess a bit lower than my adams apple, when I drink water, or eat anything..I've been thinking its heartburn and taking tums which helps a little bit but it never really goes away. I don't have a cold or flu/fever either. What do you think it is?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of throat pain which seems to be due to excessive acid production in body and due to upper respiratory tract infection or poor immunity of body. Need not to worry. Avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages. Avoid intake of sharp spicy food. You should apply mist humidifiers in room. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. You should maintain oral hygiene. Do warm saline gargles. You can go for blood and sputum tests as well. You should take proper course of antibiotics along with antiinflammatory medications.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
