SORE THROAT

Posted By BILL on August 17, 1998 at 22:03:32:







I HAVE HAD A RATHER SLIGHT BUT PERSISTANT SORENESS IN MY THROAT. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS IN THE BACK OF MY THROAT BEHIND MY TOUNGE WHERE I IMAGINE MY TONSILS TO BE. SOMETIMES, HOWEVER, I GET A TIGHTNESS IN THE FRONT OF MY THROAT UNDER MY CHIN ON BOTH SIDES OF MY ESPHAGAS.( I CAN'T SPELL EITHER BUT YOU PROBABLY CAN'T HELP THAT) THIS HAS GONE ON FOR TWO YEARS. I HAVE MENTIONED IT TO MY FAMILY PHYSICIAN AT MY YEARLY PHYSICAL AND HE DID NOT SEEMED TOO CONCERNED. I DID ONLY MENTION IT WHEN ASKED AND SINCE THE PROBLEM IS USUALLY MINOR I REALLY DID NOT MAKE IT SOUND LIKE ANY PROBLEM. I ONLY ASK YOU NOW BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN WORSE DURING THE LAST WEEK WHILE I HAVE HAD A COLD.  SHOULD I BE MORE CONCERED???
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
