my name is john traver. my friend is having a problem since 5-6 days, we are observing that he is not able to speak properly, while speaking he takes pauses, and it seems like somebody is clutching his throat, the words are not coming properly from him mouth, and the thing he is telling is, he has to apply alot of pressure to speak. we are very conscious, and wanted to know why its happening, he dont smoke, dont take liquor, and everything with him is normal like us, in past few days he didnt have some thing unusual that can cause this kind of problem, gargles are not resolving any problem, he is not able to speak properly, he didnt have stammering problem. although he is having sinus problem. please tell the solution or symtoms, the throat is not having any swelling.
