Persistent throat pain may not be due to infection and reflux laryngopharyngitis which is type of acidity related disorder and post nasal discharge due to nasal infections needs to be ruled out as a primary cause of recurrence of throat pain and treated accordingly
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
