For years I have had throat and sinus problems. I am a 36 year old male. I had my tonsils out 3 years ago, and have had my nose scoped twice to try and clear up my sinuses. Two years ago I had an endoscopy due to a GERD. For years I have also had sinus headaches and an occassional, mild difficulty swalling. For the last few months, I have had frequent but not constant pain in my ears along with fluid. Sometimes I have a raw feeling in my throat and sometimes I have difficulty swallowing. I have also got occasional but not constant pain in my teeth. I thought the symptoms would ease, but they haven't. I have been assuming that there is nothing too seriously wrong with my throat since I have had doctors in there in the past few years to remove tonsils and do an endoscopy. Do I need to be worried about things like cancer or is this just more chronic sinus problems?

Thanks

Sinus issues and GERD can be very closely related and often seem to go hand in hand - some of what you describe sounds like it could be GERD-related (the raw feeling in your throat and difficulty swallowing) and GERD can irritate the lining of your sinuses if the acid gets far enough up into your esophagus.

Is your GERD under control or is it something you're still dealing with?

My GERD never seems to be completely under control.

It's very possible that your throat problems are GERD related. Are you taking a prescription med for the GERD to try to minimize it? GERD could be contributing to every symptom you mention.
