HELP: Oral Lichen Planus on THROAT?

Does anyone have oral lichen planus ONLY on their throat? I have had the worst scratchy throat of my life for 5 long months following a flu and it was deemed oral lichen planus by my dentist. He have me no advice as to how to resolve it except good nutrition but that isn't good enough! I can barely eat and I haven't spoken in 5 months. Has anyone had this experience? Have you heard of it? Erosive LP ONLY around the throat and back of throat? If so, ANY TIPS would be great! They have NO IDEA how to treat me and it is EATING my skin! The creamy pink back of my throat has turned bright orange and veiny with extremely painful orange bubbles. I need TREATMENT
