Q: I have chronic sore throat — does Hyangseongpajeokhwan help?

There are cases where it helps, but the cause must be confirmed first. Chronic throat pain and a globus sensation have several causes. Reflux oesophagitis, post-nasal drip, allergy, a thyroid problem, dryness, smoking and medication side effects are often the background. As the approach differs by cause, it is good to have an examination first. In particular, cases where reflux oesophagitis is the cause are common, and then regulation of eating habits and sleeping posture is needed alongside. If any of the following applies, please be sure to tell us at the consultation. If examination indicates it, we will arrange ENT care. A change in the voice persisting for two weeks or more, difficulty swallowing, pain on one side only, a lump felt in the neck, or losing weight or blood coming up. If you smoke, stopping is the most certain method.

Most people who come to consult use their voice professionally. This is not a problem medicine alone solves, however — how you produce sound and how much you rest matter most. If a change in your voice lasts more than two weeks, you should have a laryngeal examination at an ENT clinic.
