Check with an ENT: Generally those types of symptoms usually resolve themselves by that point. I'd suggest being evaluated by an ENT - a physician who specializes in disorders of the ears, nose & throat - as they might want to take a biopsy to rule out anything else that might be going on. Hope you feel better & Good Luck!
