What Causes The Clogged Feeling In Throat?

Hi I got this symptom over a few weeks that I have something stuck in my throat but I can t swallow or spit it out. It started with flu like symptoms and the other symptoms like chills and night sweats are gone by now but I still have this symptom something stuck in my throat. Is it just a cold that will pass or something else I need to get checked on? thanks for your response in advance.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having clogged feeling in throat which are pointing towards a condition known as strep throat/granular pharyngitis/ tonsillitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid hot, sharp , spicy food substances , do warm saline rinses and carbonated beverages. Start with warm saline gargles and beta-dine gargles 3-4 times a day. You should take ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and rule out condition like strep throat and viral infection . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics penicillin or amoxicillin or anti viral drug depending upon the diagnosis along with decongestants and anti inflammatory. You should maintain proper hygiene.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
