Should I go to the doctor? Is this something to worry about?

Hi,I did the following:

Should I go to the doctor? Is this something to worry about?I am thinking of going to my family doctor. For the longest time I have yellowish phlegm in my throat in the morning, it eventually clears to clear as the day progresses.

Yesterday I looked in my mouth (my Dr says I have acid reflux and I am on PPI) and it looked like my throat/top of mouth was blotchy (with white).

I don't want my doctor to think I am a hypocondriac (I've been for a few tests to diagnose GERD) and been to her about 3 times in 2 months (which I think is a lot). But its kinda worrying me.

Would you call to make an appointment?
I have been drinking licorice root and hot water for the past few days but I doubt that would cause the throat discoloration...my wife says my throat looks fine, ut she's generally on the conservative side.
I'll add that my throat does feel a bit tight at times...but I'm not really having any pain or real trouble swallowing...I am more concerned with the blotchy coloured throat/roof of mouth.
cvtldy - Googling usually scares the bejebus out of me. It always brings up really bad disorders and cancers and stuff like that.
Alright, I have an appointment tomorrow. Thanks everybody, I really was unsure (I felt 3x in 2 months a lot and needed some reassurance about being labelled a hypochontriac)

Thank you all. I really apprecaite it, and if I could give you all the Best Answer and 10 points I would.

God Bless

Sounds to me like you may simply have allergies....get an allergy test to be sure. Zyrtec is great and it's now available OTC. Good luck!

What do you think? Answer below! GERD — Comprehensive overview covers symptoms, treatment, diet issues of this acid reflux disease.
