I'll try to be as brief as possible! Dd is 10, has a couple of issues which I don't think are relevant to this problem. Since October last year Dd has had a sore throat. She has a feeling that something is stuck, it's uncomfortable when she swallows and it feels like some food gets stuck and takes more effort to get down. She can feel something there all the time. If she tilts her head back it's no different, but if she tilts it forward towards putting chin on chest it feels much worse. We've been to ENT they can't feel or see anything abnormal. They put a camera up her nose and down into her throat and there's nothing there. We've been told now by ENT and 2 G.P's that there's nothing wrong and her symptoms will disappear of their own accord. Basically, they've said 12 months is not a long time for this to go on, it can go on for much longer! We have to believe, act and talk like there's nothing wrong, then that will magically happen .... I just can't believe she can feel what she does if there's really nothing there ... any thoughts??
Just to add ... I don't think or want there to be anything wrong, I don't think there's anything bad here, I just want this to go away for my dd sake.
