I had the feeling that something was stuck in my throat so I tried to drink and cough and nothing felt different. So i stuck my finger down my throat and my epiglottis is sticking up and the feeling is still in my throat. Is this normal/ how can I get rid of this feeling?

Hi Dear ,
As per your query you have feeling of something stuck in your throat . Well this is very common problem there is nothing to panic . Sometimes there are food which are hard or having sharp edges the scratch the throat lining during swallowing , which giver feeling of something stuck in throat . There can be other reasons also like tonsillitis , diverticula , esophagus wen or some foreign body . I would suggest you to do warm saline rinses several times a day , eat banana and avoid eating hard , spicy and hot food . If condition doesn't get better in 24 hours then consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order swab test and examine with laryngoscope . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , sucralfate ( to heel injured tissue or anti inflammatory .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
