Throat Discomfort
I’ve had mild throat discomfort since around June 4. The pain is about 2/10, occurs randomly around 7–8 times a day, lasts only 1–3 seconds, and is not consistent. After visiting a general physician and taking the prescribed medication, the stinging pain resolved. However, I now occasionally experience random episodes of dry throat. I’m also currently getting a wisdom tooth on the same side. I’ve attached a photo of my throat for reference (my tonsils have been visibly enlarged since childhood). I’m also very anxious because I gave oral sex to my boyfriend in 2023 and 2024. Last year, he developed an HPV wart on his palm, which was diagnosed by a doctor. He has never had any genital warts. I’m worried whether my current throat symptoms could be related to HPV and would like to know if any evaluation or tests are necessary.

Hello Madam, Your tonsils were found to be normal size; no issues with that. But your posterior pharyngeal wall, that is, the back side of the throat, had granulations, which indicate the presence of LPR. LPR is a disease caused by the reflux of acids from the stomach into the throat. And this is found to be more commonly noted among the patients who had increased stress and irregular dietary habits and who had more spicy foods.
Follow the medications
T. Raciper 40 mg before food morning and night for 30 days
Advice: Don't take spicy foods, drink more water, and do yoga for stress.
Consult ENT specialist for further consultation
