Brief Answer:
Apthous Ulcers.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

1. The piece of hair stuck in your throat (and which was removed) is not a cause of your problems.

2. You may have picked up a throat infection while getting it removed or you may be allergic to the mouth wash or syrup.

3. What you describe seems to be apthous ulcers and you have taken medication for the same.

4. Apthous ulcers are very common and the exact cause is unknown. The cause is usually a combination of anxiety, stress, acid reflux, indigestion, dehydration, hormonal fluctuations, allergies, local abrasions and trauma (change your toothpaste and brush), vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

5. Use a local ointment (such as Orasep/ Zytee/ Smyle) and correct as many of the above problems that may be the cause.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any follow up queries, I will be available to answer them.

Regards.

Brief Answer:
There is no cause for worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for writing back.

1. As long as the bleeding is minimal and stops, there is no active treatment required.

2. Continue the use of Zytee for local application.

3. Request your physician for a prescription of anti-reflux medication comprising of a proton pump inhibitor (such as omeprazole, pantoprazole or rabeprazole) aong with a gut motility enhancer (such as domperidone or levosulpiride). Anti-reflux medication should be taken for at least 8-12 weeks under supervision of your doctor.

4. If this does not help, get a Gastroenterologist's opinion.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any follow up queries, I will be available to answer them.
