Glossopharyngeal Neu: Well, the only reason I'm throwing this diagnosis out on the basis of your symptom of "sore throat" is because I see you've had an endoscopy, U/S, & Laryngoscopy. So obvious things (acid regurg, tumor, thyroid disease, fungai) are likely ruled out..plus you've had it for 20 months. But Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia..MAY BE something to think about. It's highly underdiagnosed. Ask to see neurologist.
