Hi, @anacarel2018 -- So sorry to hear you have had this throat burning incident and then pain since then, and now ear pain.

A few other members who have talked about illnesses in the throat or other related illnesses might have some insight for you on what that may mean, like @teresatopeka @jodeej, @needtoknow, @kgoodwin9 and @joant10. @travelgirl may also have some thoughts.

@anacarel2018 ā€” are you considering going to the doctor, or calling in or portal messaging them, if that's available?

@anacarel2018 Welcome to connect and sorry your hear at the same time.

How did you burn your throat? Was it hot liquid, or hot food that went down your throat? That you believed caused this. Three weeks seem long after eating hot food but I am sure it's possible if it was scalding? Cause I am a professional at burning my mouth.

I usually burn the roof of my mouth eating hot food. It tastes a couple weeks to heal. Just was at the dentist getting my teeth cleaned, and the first thing the hygienist said when she looked in my mouth. Did you burn the roof of your mouth eating something hot? It was about 4 days later, and area was still tender. It's a little over week, and I still feel tender.

Now if your eating super spicy food your throat can get irritated. Mine does, it will actually feel like it is burning when food goes down. That is my acid reflux from hell, backing up my throat, from my stomach. The acid will come all the way back up my throat to tonsils. The enamel on my teeth is even affected by this. Spicy hot food will literally give me a sore throat. That can last for weeks.

Think about what you been eating, Please make an appointment to see a GI Dr. He can determine what is really going on.

I wish you the best.. Try and eat bland foods, and drink cold water or aloe water. That usually helps me.
