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
