Chronic throat irritation - Allergies Message Board

I have bad allergies and sinus issues. But lately, I've had a chronic dry, skratchy, sometimes sore throat. I affects my voice a bit (I don't smoke).

Does anyone else have this problem? Anything I can do?

I wonder if it could be your sinuses affecting this. Perhaps an ongoing infection? Have you tried a course of antibiotics to see if this will help?

If it continues then perhaps its worth seeing an ENT specialist in the near future?

Look into acid reflux as well.. it may be high stomach acid levels causing an irritated throat. Look into LPR and GERD especially.

GERD might be a possibility.

I have Planters Fasciitis in both feet, and I've been taking 2 Aleve every day for several months -this problem started a few weeks after going on this regiment. I wonder...
