EAR, NOSE & THROAT COMMUNITY
Throat issues since violent vomitting.

Throat issues since violent vomitting.

About 2 months ago, I had to pull over to the side of the road to vomit as I had become very nauseous from all the drainage in my stomach due to some bad post-nasal drip issues.

I vomitted for a few minutes and immediately my throat started hurting. I chalked it up to violent vomitting,etc. Well for 2 weeks my throat had a certain spot that hurt. Everytime I swallowed,etc. Then after a few weeks, it went away. Everything was good and then a few weeks later I started getting a bad sore throat and my vocal cords felt strained and hurting. I went to a doc and she said I had some bad post nasal drip, which would cause the sore throat and also stated I had alot of tonsil stones(Have been getting those bad for a year) she prescribed me nasonex and said give it two weeks. About 3 days later, everything cleared up. I mean everything. No more sore throat, no more vocal cord pain, no more throat pain. Nothing. Cured.

Then about 4 days ago my vocal cords started feeling hoarse again. This was brought on by some bad hacking one morning(trying to get some morning phlem up) and now Im back to a sore vocal cord.

Im not sure what my issue is. I dont know if I damaged the vocal cord area when I vomitted a few months ago. It seems all the pain has been since then. I am 30 years old, non-smoker, non-drinker, just had a physical 2 months ago that was perfect. No idea why Im getting these issues. Any thoughts?

Well, in case anyone has the same issues.... I went to an ENT today who diagnosed it as acid reflux as causing my irritation. Nothing major, will do some prescription acid reflux meds and see if it helps.
