What Causes Sore Throat With Difficulty In Swallowing?
I've had what feels like a sore throat for weeks now. It only hurts a few times a day to swallow, but I constantly feel like it's a certain spot in my throat that is sore. More often than not, it hurts when my head is tilted down. I went to a clinic and the Dr. prescribed Fluticasone spray, which I've been on for about a week. I'm also gargling warm salt water to see if that helps. Is there anything else I should me doing, or is it serious enough to go see a ENT specialist?

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum
The symptoms described by could be due to Acid reflux (GERD) from the stomach into the throat. Life style modifications to reduce GERD along with oral medicines can give relief in symptoms.
Wish you good health
