I have getting a lot of scratchy mild sore throats lately... anyone get these with lupus? The only med I take is Plaquenil. just been kind of irritating lately
Allergies can cause sore throats and ragweed is out right now
When I swallow, my ear/throat hurts, almost like there's a lump in my ear canal. It's hard to explain. It's not really scratchy or sore 24/7, it's just when I swallow. I've had my ears and throat checked many times. It's just something that happens when my symptoms start to act up.
My first thought was maybe allergies. I also had a long period of ear infections when I lived in Florida, and for some reason I’d always get a sore throat just before the ear infections started. Maybe it had something to do with drainage. Are your lymph nodes swollen? Fever?
Another thought might be weather changing or maybe your nose is stuffy at night so you are sleeping with your mouth open, that makes my throat scratchy the next day. Hope you feel better.
I do get lots of sore throats. I am also on plaquenil, I always wondered if anyone else did too!
I usually get a sore throat when I flare. I have ear infection constantly and am seeing a new doctor Monday.
I have been taking plaquinil 5 weeks now. I have had head cold, soar throat symptoms every since. They started almost immediately of me starting treatment. I ran out for two days and did not have the head cold and soar throat symptoms any more. As soon as I started back two days later it was immediately back. Hope this helps a little (:
I have hard a sore, scratchy throat for about a month now. It comes and goes. I haven’t gone to the doctor. I figured its just bad allergies.
