Persistent sore throat since a year.

Question

Asked for Male, 62 Years

Hello Doctors. My mother is suffering from a persistent sore throat since a year now and it is not improving. Endoscopy says small benign polyps which the doctor said is normal. CT scan is normal. Have taken all kinds of antibiotics, anti inflammatory, infection meds through multiple ENT doctors now. We went to Gastro as well he said its due to Acid reflux and after taking so many medications still there is no relief. She feels a burning sensation in her throat whenever she eats(even an apple). We are perplexed and tired of being to different hospitals that too in a pandemic. Please suggest what else should we try. Thanks in advance.
