I am not a doctor. I
have, in layman terms, an infected esophagus. Treatment from a GP was
amoxycillin and claritin. Due to allergies, I cannot take propulcid or
prilosec. At the end of three weeks, no improvement. Went to a
specialist and received an antihistamine - Allergen? and zantac. No help,
so I went to a gastroenterologist who will perform an endoscopic examination in
three weeks time. In the meantime, conditions do not improve; I have a
sore throat and have some difficulty swallowing and am taking Pepcid only.
Isn't there anything else I can take for a sore throat. Isn't this wait
far from helpful? I realize the problems in writing a letter to a medical
specialist who doesn't know me and who will be most reluctant to 'interfere'
with another doctor's patient. In the meantime, problems progress and I am
between a rock and a hard place. I need some information and help which is
almost impossible to get. Can you say anything
