Phlegm Stuck In Throat Feeling For The Last 7 Days.
Question: Phlegm stuck in throat feeling for the last 7 days. It feels like a ball of phlegm behind my throat. I do have some dry cough and have to keep on clearing my throat. When I try to spit out the mucus it’s white in color.
I do have acid reflux but I am pretty sure it’s not due to that. I also had a bout of cold and fever 2 weeks ago but now I am fine.
I am really scared as it could be due to muscle weakness of my throat, should I go visit a ENT for the same?
I have tried nasal decongestant and mucus thinners, hot water, steam, nothing has worked. Sometimes feel like my nose is congested but I am not sure what’s causing this

Hii. The most common reason is acid reflux from the stomach. It can be due
Detailed Answer:
Hii. The most common reason is acid reflux from the stomach. It can be due to other causes like postnasal drip due to allergic rhinitis, any lesion or mass in the voice box. The best way to diagnose is to get an endoscopy of the larynx and see if there is any lesion or mass in the larynx or not. It there is any mass then it should be treated accordingly. But if there is no mass then the most probable cause would be laryngopharyngeal reflux or acid reflux. In that case drink more water. Take less tea, coffee. Avoid spicy food smoking, alcohol. Sleep after two hours of dinner. Don't sleep within two hours of dinner. You can take some antacid daily. It will decrease the acid reflux and help you to relieve off obstruction. But it will take some time. So you need to consult an Ent surgeon and get an endoscopy of larynx done. Please review if you have any queries.

Also, if both the tests come back as normal then we can rule out muscle weakness right and this could be due to anxiety and globus?
Can globus cause persistent feeling of something stuck in tour throat and do people usually come in with similar complaints?
I also have dry mouth and dry cough so could all this be due to anxiety?
Should I wait for a week or just get myself checked?

Also one more thing, I have some dry feeling in the upper part of the nose and feels like it’s congested but I am able to breathe pretty well using both nostrils.
Also dry feeling in mouth and tongue and throat and lots of dry cough.
Do you think it’s due to GERD or cold as I had cold 2 weeks ago and it’s flu and allergy season here.
I am trying to drink lot of water but the dry throat and dry mouth does not go away plus the dry cough is the biggest issue for me.
I am planning to go see an ENT doctor for the same. My doctor said to wait for 1 more week to see if it goes away but itself.
Could this be due to Sjogren’s Syndrome
