Suggest Treatment For Lump And Obstruction In Throat

I need an advice as I have been very worried... I have a feeling that I have a lump or something obstructing my throat. I have booked in with the doctor but still feel worried in the meantime.. I have slightly enlarged thyroid and thought it may be that... But this feels like I have something stuck, right at the voice box larynx or around that area. At night I sometimes have a cough, which is due to me sleeping on my side and I feel like something is tickling my throat. I also sneeze during the day. This has been going on for few months now. Help?

Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have feeling of something stuck in your throat , along with cough and thyroid enlargment . Well this is very common problem and there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like :-

- Acid reflux ( GERD) .
- Esophageal web or ring .
- Tonsillitis .
- An object or food.
- Esophagitis .

Sometimes it can be psychological problem also . I woudl suggest you to do warm saline gargles , eat soft food adn eat 1-2 bananas . If condition doesn't get better then consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may examine with laryngoscope , CT scan and examine physically . Doctor may prescrine antibiotics at least for 5 days along with anti inflammatory .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
