My throat hurts!!?
Question:
Starting yesterday, I felt this pain coming on in my throat at the base like I swallowed a fat pill & it got stuck kinda feeling. I've been drinking hot tea with honey, which provides little relief as I am drinking it but fades as fast as the last drop.
Today the pain is worse like I expected it to be & now it is dificult to swallow food. I have no other symtoms as of yet. I am feeling fine, energy is good, voice is uneffected, temperature normal.
Now I have experienced this scenario before a couple years back while on vacation & was advised to take Echinacea Goldenseal which helped tremendously like magic. At that time it got so bad that it felt like a knife was held to my throat all day. I don't want to get to that point again. So besides drinking Throat Comfort (by Yogi Teas) & Rooibos Red Tea what else can I do? I don't have medical coverage. Any ideas of what's causing this?
Answers:
It sounds like an abscess. I had one but couldn't see it because of where it was. You should go get it checked out or its going to seem like its gone then come back again.
