I've been wearing face masks when I'm working and shopping for the past 3 months , sometimes it cloth ones and sometimes it's surgical (for work), I've noticed my throat has been feeling itchy and scratching!! sometimes I cough which cause me to sound horse !! my Anxiety has gone high because of this !! My husband says not to phone doctor but I'm thinking I might have throat cancer !! I'm 40 years old !!
hey lisa.
i know the feeling. thing is when you use your masks often and breathing in them all day bacteria accumulates in the mask then you breath it on and you could get an infection which may need antibiotics. i remember i couldn’t breathe wearing those masks. made me feel ill. try to talk to your doctor and see if then set up a zoom meeting so they csn look at your throat. or if its possible to send a photo.
anxiety will make you feel like you have the worst of everything. hope your feel better soon. xx
