I was in a chemical explosion (chlorine) about 18 mo ago.  About a month later, I developed a drainage in my throat that won't stop.  The dr has tried allegro and nexium and steriods to no avail.  He took a MRI of my sinus and could see nothing abnormal.  I go back again Jan 2.  He has told me that a chemical burn was hard to heal, and that I just may have to live with this.  Is this right?

I would have you seen by an ENT as a starting point.
