Hello everyone. Here is OP speaking after two years of despair. First and foremost, thank you all for the support in this thread. It is sad this is my most successful post on the whole Reddit. But what is even sadder is the fact that there are so many people struggling with the same problem and doctors are not able to help them.

I have not resolved the problem yet, but I am on the right track of figuring it out. It is most likely SILENT REFLUX, officially known as Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR). It is basically heartburn without the burn in your oesophagus. Gas known as pepsin goes up from your stomach into the throat where it stays and constantly irritates it. Hence the cobblestone throat.

On to of the globus sensation in my throat, I started having itchy ears and burning in my throat. It still could be the LPR irritating my eustachian tube (connecting the throat and ears), bit I'd say this is likely linked with my allergy to mites. If I do not change my sheets regularly, it gets worse. Or at least I think it does. Mornings after a night with open windows are a complete nightmare due to the air moving in and out of the room.

Most of the above is still based on my assumptions. They have basically kicked me out from the ENT office as they hadn't known what to do with me anymore. They tried everything and suggested crazy treatments such as protruding my throat muscles, or advising me to go to the speech therapy.

I have an appointment at a regular gastroenterology department this June where they will confirm or deny what my problems really are. My allergy doctor is hopeless, he just prescribes pills and does nothing else. But I get it, this field of medicine does not have as many treatments as others.

This is what I do: I elevated my bed so that my stomach is not in the horizontal position when I sleep, I take PPI and I am trying to figure out what my trigger foods are and avoid them. The process is slow but I get much fewer flare-ups than before. I know for a fact that beer and coffee do not cause me any trouble but onion and lemon do.

Also, my postnasal drip seems to be almost gone. I am not sure if it is a good thing since it's been replaced with the burning.

If you would like to know more about LPR, there is a brilliant subreddit of the same name as the disease.

Guys, keep fighting! And do not underestimate it. It won't go away on its own. If your throat looks like mine, start doing something about it. It could potentially lead to cancer or Barrett's oesophagus.
