Continual Throat issues

[robbo02]

Hi,

My problems started back in about Februray, when I went to my GP after a high fever and general feeling of unwell. My throat was inflammed and I found it difficult to swallow. The fatigue seems to have remained on and off since i got sick. My GP prescribed an oral antibiotic as i found it difficult to swallow, and ordered a blood test for EBV. All came back clean. THe problem I have is a feeling of constant constriction and difficulty swallowing, food often doesnt go down, and severe coughing results. I seem to be burping constantly which provides temporary relief. I have taken a 9 week course of antibiotics to no avail, have had an endoscopy by an ent which showed nothing major, (though apparenlty i have a deviated septum sp???), the barium test showed no aspiration etc, but showed that i seem to be favouring my right side with a swallow, not sure what that means. My tonsils seem to be normal size again but the constriction remains, and since going off antibiotics it seems to have returned. Its a constant feeling of a lump in the throat just above the boney area connecting to the throat. Bad breath and phlem are also symptomns. A CT scan is scheduled soon for my throat area.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Ps i am 24, relatively healthy and was active until his kicked in.

I had the same problems went to the doctor and found out it was strep throat the first two times and mono the third. So get tested for the two and see what happens
