Sore throat?

Hello,
I have been having a consistent but very mild sore throat and makes the back/back bottom part of my tongue sore.
I know bartonella can cause sore throats but I know my bartonella is getting better.
I feel 75% back to my normal self.



Any ideas of what is causing this chronic sore throat?

Hi jboy145 -

75% is awesome. Good work.

Sorry to hear about your throat. Yes, bart can irritate the throat although I'm not sure of the mechanism. Bart likes to hang out in the lymph nodes around the neck/head. I had a CRAZY herx after starting vanco abx for bart - was bed-ridden for nearly two wks unable to move head, neck. everything from the shoulder up throbbed, sore throat included.

Once the abx had time to work, and after I incorporated red root and did some dry brushing to drain the lymphs better, I had significant relief. Detoxing is pretty important.

The chlorosceptic spray they sell in drug stores can be helpful but it's pretty short-term.

Does sucking on ice cubes help? warm tea?

Another thing to be sure to rule out is yeast/fungal overgrowth. Sore throat was always one of my first yeast symptoms - especially if you're taking oral abx, which can really disrupt the biofilm in your mouth/throat. Try gargling with an anti fungal - add coconut oil to your tea. If you have relief from something like that, might look into yeast/fungal overgrowth.

Hope that's helpful -
