My mother in law was sent home from hospital last night she has lung cancer, they gave her seretide to take at night and she has had terrible pain and burning in the throat. Is it the seretide or one of the symptoms of the cancer. She was diagnosed Sept 2009. We were told she cant be cured or operated on.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about cancer related throat pain. Possibility of sere tide related sore throat is more. Inhaled Chat Doctor.  If patient don't do gargles after inhaled treatment, these deposits cause sore throat. So tell her to do gargles every time she uses sere tide. Don't worry, she will be alright with gargles only. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother-in-law.  Thanks.
