Yes, EoE can cause throat irritation and soreness. This happens because eosinophils (white blood cells) gather in the esophagus and release chemicals that cause inflammation. This inflammation can lead to throat irritation, difficulty swallowing, and chronic cough. Here are some ways to help manage throat discomfort from EoE:

- Stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day
- Gargle with warm salt water several times daily
- Work with your doctor to identify and avoid food triggers
- Discuss prescription medication options with your healthcare provider
- Always take any medications with plenty of water to avoid further irritation
