Hi folks,
Sorry to be back on here, but looking for your thoughts, as this sore throat and swallowing trouble is persisting in a bad way. I went back twice to the ENT since MRI. Prilosec was useless. Last week he gave me antibiotics which isn't doing anything. It's been over 2 months and the discomfort is now constant, getting worse, and extremely unusual for me.

I made an appointment with a different ENT (Stanford) next week. Thoughts on what I should ask? The MRI was clear a few weeks ago - is that the best test? Could an MRI be missing something? I was reading about barium swallows, PET, etc. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks again.
