throat problems.

I recently visit an ENT because i was having problems with phelgm clearing, horseness with my throat.  ENT said i have a few vocal cord noduls and my throat looked a little sore.  He has me on prilosec, because he figures it GERD.  Med seem to help a little, but still having phelgm and horseness.  Will visit ENT again in a few weeks.  Another problem is my neck is begining to cause pain on bith left and right sides.  phelgm is clear, but i did notice a few times when blowing my nose i had traces of blood in the mucos.  Happen after taking a shower.  Anyone having the same problem?  If so, what was the remedy?  Thanks.

Keep a written list of what happens, when it happens, what stops it, what you have taken for it or not. Take this 'journal' to the ENT who saw you when you go back. If the bleeding is excessicve or you can't stop it, seek help immediately.

Keeping a journal/diary is a very good idea.  Track what you ate, when you ate it and how long after you ate symptoms occur as well.  You can also track pollen scores.

All of your symptoms can be acid reflux, but some could also be from allergies.  Keeping a diary of both food and pollen counts could provide some light on what is causing the issue.  

Take care and please keep us posted.
