Chronic sinus drainage, if infected can also affect the throat. I assume you have covered this potential?

This is some great information, thank you.
I have not considered chronic sinus drainage, no. Actually, I had no idea that this could be related. I'll read up on that too, and get the thyroid tests done.
Was the solution satisfactory after finding the thyroid problem?
