Hi There
I am 24 and from Johannesburg South Africa, about 2 months ago I started getting a dry cold feeling at the back of my throat I thought that it was just an sinus infection went to my local GP and he told me its a mild throat infection gave me some anti-biotics and still the sensation would not go away.
I went back to him last Monday and explained that the cold dry sensation is still there and I am not sure what it is and I am really getting worried as a sore throat should not last for longer then 2 weeks..once again he diagnosed me with sinusitus and gave me more medication which still did not help!!!!
I have spent a fortune on trying to get better and I am not getting that far I am really scared and made an appointment with the ENT for next week Tuesday. Before the sensation started I use to get a strong pain on the left side of my chest and a sensation of food getting stuck in my throat all of that has gone away but yet I still have this weird cold and dry feeling at the back of my throat.
I have tried the honey I have gone on a detox diet but I still feel the same I mean I dont have a fever and I do not feel weak but I feel uncomfortable.
Please if any one knows what I can use for now I would really appreciate it! Also is it worth my while going to a ENT Specialist ? Or will I be wasting my money???
I am sorry for the long explanation its just that I am very paranoid at the moment thinking of all sorts of Throat and esophagus cancers ....
PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!

I've had the exact same problem recently. The only thing I can link it to was that I started getting a sore throat, then it felt like there was food stuck in my threat (or I had some sort of indigestion), then it just felt cold in my throat and I don't know why. I know I had a few very spicy meals in between and I thought that may have something to do with the sensation. It's weird. And I also think it's weird that no one has posted any answer to this symptom.

Thank you for your reply,
I have been for a check up about 2 weeks ago to an ENT Specialist , my throat was in a perfect condition and he could not pick up any diseases.
However I was diagnosed with Acid Reflux which I kind of expected as I did alot of research with regards to my problem.
He put me on medication which I am only allowed to take in the morning before I eat and then Gaviscon at Night after my meal which should be taken before 19:00pm. I feel much better now I dont have that cold dry annoying feeling at the back of my throat any more , he also suggested eating the right type of food as its no point taking the medication if you not have a well balanced diet meaning no milk, no coffee, no spicy food, no fizzy drinks which I have been avoiding I mean I do cheat atleast once a week but I really feel much much better.
I will get you the name of the medication I am on I do not have it with me and cannot remember the name, but I do suggest seeing an ENT it worked for me.
He also said that if my symptoms were not improving he would then refer me to a gastroenterologist for a barium swallow which would be the next step and if they dont pick up anyting then I would have seen a neurologist lucky for me I am much better now.
I would suggest since you experiencing similiar symptoms as mine visit an ENT and then take it from there...
Please let me know..
Good Luck.

Hi there,
I am also having the same problem. It started 3 days ago. I guess this happened when I'm wearing perfume around my neck. But I will give it another test to find out what's causing this problem by not spraying any perfume for a whole week or two and will keep you posted, I had the same problem before this Cold, Dry Sensation came back, but after I stopped using perfume the Cold, Dry Sensation disappeared, I can't assume just yet, but I will be helpful to test things. I have booked in to see an E.N.T. Specialist to have a look and see what they can do, at the same time getting my ears checked, or it could be my hearing impairment affecting this, maybe.
Cheers.
