What Causes A Feeling Of Something Stuck In The Throat?

It feels like I have something stuck in my throat. This has been going on for 3 1/2 weeks. I've trued eating bread, even sticking my finger down my throat with no results. At first I thought that the flap or whatever determines which way food or air goes, was sticking. Any idea of what could cause this?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of feeling of something stuck in the throat which could be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease, strep throat and could be esophageal web. Sometimes tonsillitis can also cause such symptoms . I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Doctor may order CT scan along with examination with laryngoscooe . You should start treatment after proper prescription from doctor.

- Take diet rich in soft food.
- Drink plenty of water and liquids.
- Do warm saline gargles.
- Avoid intake of sharp and spicy food.
- Do Not lay down immediately after having food.

You should take combination of antacids along with antibiotics. Doctor may refer you to gastroenterologist .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
