Re: Re: Persistent Throat pain and cough? Please Help!

Wow. Jeanne, thank you so much for sharing this. I did start stumbling on salivary gland info but didn't continue my research. It does say in Iodoral instructions to notify the doc if one is having excess salvation, which I do have on and off. I didn't take my iodine today and feel much less tightness in my throat.

It has been quite some time now and I no longer have all

of the emails or research I did on this. But, yes I

had symptoms very similar to what you are describing.

At the time, I read a study which indicated that the

iodine was having an impact on some of the participants'

salivary glands and they stopped using it because of

that.

There was no cough. but I did have a gripping feeling in

my throat and under the jaw...in some ways it seemed like

swollen glands. It was very frightening to me at the time.

It is hard to describe. I often cough after it to open my throat up again. And is worse after eating. Soothed by cold foods.

The obstetrician wanted me to get a throat ultrasound to see if I had a hidden goiter. But then she forgot to order it so it hasn't happened. She thought it could also be a oesophageal spasm.
