I got a weird sore throat which I will ask the doctor, but the soreness is below the normal spot for a sore throat. It hurts like hell especially if I sneeze or cough. The adam’s apple rubs it frequently. I thought I’d have laryngitis by now, but…nothing! No other symptomes! No sniffles, etc.

Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?

Do you have acid reflux disease or anything like that? Maybe it’s a type of ulcer or something. I guess there could be a chance that it’s a polyp, too. Any changes in the sound of your voice? Difficulty with speaking or swallowing?

IANAD, but these are probably some of the questions that he or she will ask you.
