Hi!
That is too bad about your throat problem! It must be terrible! I have a very sensitive throat and for years I was susceptible to sore throats constantly. However after I started using original Listerine after every meal, I have had no sore throats at all. It's very good about getting mucus out and getting the soreness to go away after only a few uses. Don't use the flavored Listerines. They don't work at all. Another thing I used before I found Listerine was to gargle with hot salt water. That worked pretty well but the Listerine was much better. I hope this helps.

3 ReactionsI have recently been diagnosed with a sinus infection. After the ct scan, the doctor discovered a hole in one of my sinuses. There is some concern over csf fluid leaking into my sinus after the surgery and a need to repair the hole. Has anyone had an experience with this sort of thing?
I have trouble breathing at times. I have a traecheostomy (sp) and ENT doctors will
now see me because of it. I've talked to an attorney and it seems they can do just that.
That sucks.
will NOT see me my error
Thanks for this suggestion. I will try it.
Similar issues here. Have you heard of silent reflux?

1 ReactionUpdate from JULES,
I have had my throat condition for over 3 years. ENTs can not find any help for me. I live with the discomfort.
Menthol cough drops helps for a short while.
Any new magic?

I must comment about your suggestion to contact Mayo Clinic. I tried to make an appointment with Mayo Clinic in Phoenix for my throat clearing and got turned down. I don't know why and it makes me suspicious about them. So, I am not at all impressed with the Mayo Clinic!
Oh my, sorry to hear this. We have been to Mayo in MN and couldn’t be more impressed with every aspect. We have done a six week stay as well as yearly visits. They saved my husband.
