Burning Sensation Behind the Trachea
Posted: 10-12-04 16:21pm

Hi,
its been 2 years now that I have an odd burning sensation at the bottom of my trachea (more like behind it..And on the left side).

Sometimes it almost disappear and sometimes it becomes almost painfull.

i have it on a daily basis.

it all started after I was sick with a serious infection in my throat (voice box).

I've tried: losec, pro-losec, zantec in case its reflux.
I've tried: flonase in case its a post-nasal-drip.

It keeps bugging me no matter what I do.

symptoms include:
-burning sensation a specially when I press on the area mentioned above with my fingers. (i feel a need to cough as a result of that..)
-when the sensation is strong I also have a white salty (?!) mucus, that comes from deep down my throat.
-sometimes when you drink/eat fast you start coughing as a result of food going the wrong way, the pain I feel comes straight from that area.
-i have no heartburn.
-i'm 100% healthy, thin, non-smoker, haven't been sick since 2 years.
-i'm not using any medication.

my thoughts:
-maybe its psychological??
-maybe its food allergy/normal allergy.
-maybe I still have nasty germs in my voice-box.

hope someone can give me a direction/solution.
i heard a lot of people that mention reflux etc. But i've never heard someone that has salty mucos coming out of his/her throat.


Thanks ! Cool

Burning Sensation Back of Throat

I also have the same problem. At first I thought is was caused by the nicorette gum that I have been using to help me quit smoking. Now that I no longer use the gum I was thinking it was too much coffee.

Burning Sensation Back of Throat

I have a similiar problem. Over the past few years I have developed bad sinus problems and about 2 months ago my voice started getting very horse and until a few days ago my throat is burning and hurting. When I cough, sneeze or laugh it hurts very bad.

I went to an ent and he performed a test with a camera tube through my nose into my throat. He said I have an infection in my throat with polyps and a bacteria infection. He gave my a nose spray and a twice a day antibiotic (omisef). So far I have noticed no change.
