No other symptoms, I never consume alcohol & I have never smoked. This is the first time I have had these symptoms.
Brief Answer:
Try omeprazole and report progress to me!
Detailed Answer:
HI,
The most common cause of foreign body sensation in the throat is acid reflux. I will suggest that you take capsule daily of omeprazole 20mg and report your progress to me. Most patients report significant improvement and am pretty sure that might be the same with you.
Until next, I wish you well. Keep me posted!
