Title: When to worry about a soar throat?
Post by: alrightstill on May 07, 2008, 10:38:34 PM

It seems for about a week now (on and off) the back of my throat has been extremely soar.  I'm not coughing or anything -- and no fever, but its that feeling you get when you feel like you're about to get sick.  Almost like a lump is in the back of my throat --- but not. 

Is this something I should bring to the docs attention or just let it ride out and see what happens.  Not sure what else it could be.. though I keep telling myself it's probably nothing serious.  I suppose one can never be too sure though, right?

I just feel that they'll probably say "take some robitussin dm and call us if it gets worse or you get a fever". 


PS >>  Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section!

I wouldnt think a sore throat was anything to do with dialysis so why not get your g.p. to check it out ?

tis spring. do you have nasal allergies? sometimes when your nose drips (it drips at both ends ya know) it makes your throat sore.

alrightstill, your profile says your on the east coast. We have so much pollen right now. My throat stays sore. Try some allergy medicine if you can.  :cuddle;
