Does anyone else when they get a flareup so I thought throat is swelling up? My throat like right in the middle feels like it’s swollen and it makes it feel like it’s difficult to breathe and eat but it’s not. It’s just huge how swollen my neck is. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there anything you do that helps and relieve this?

Rochelle, please be seen in person by your doctor. If it gets to the point of difficulty breathing, please go to the ER! Many things can cause the neck to feel swollen, including swollen lymph nodes, acid reflux, and even post-nasal drip, but visible swelling is unusual.
