What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Throat Despite Taking Benadryl?

Hi, yesterday around 12:30 i began to have this really wierd sensation in my throat. It started off as a tingle, but then it began to feel as if something was moving or crealing up my throat. I went to a nurse on campus and she said that it may have something to do with not taking my medication from a previous diagnosis of acid reflux. The medicine i was using starts with and "r" (i forgot the name.) The nurse then proceeded to give me peptobismal.Later on throughout the evening yesterday I got a very weary feeling....it was almost as if SOMETHING WAS TRYING TO CRAWL OUT OF MY THROAT! I tried to cough up whatever it was but only a small drop of greenish liquid came up. I drank some water. I thought maybe that would help. Around 12:30 am i lay still and tried to go to sleep. THE FEELING GOT WORSE! By this point I'm panicking because I've read a story on how a girl coughed up worms. I am TERRIFIED of worms. My throat felt like it was swellingm i kept swallowing because if i relaxed my throat, it felt as if something was coming out. I went to walmart and got some benadryl. Now my throat is still tingling again and i get these random twitches in my throat. Please help!!!

Hi welcome to HCM
I can unerstand your concern for tingling sensation in the throat despite taking Benadryl .

Dear after going thru your story I can suggest you that you are suffering from severe throat infection . The problem toubling you is your swollen throat which is giving you feeling of tingling and wierd feeling .

With all that medication you are taking , I suggest you to do gargles ,with warm salty water 2-3 times a day for 5 mimutes
. It will help you relieve your odd feeling by removing inflammation of your throat and let you spit out toxins accumulated in your thraot and help clearing all troubles .And you will see The WORMS OF YOUR DREAMS are no where .
Take Vitamin C 1 tab per day ordirected by your doctor.
Drink lot of warm water several times a day
Light small meals 5-6 times a day .
Masala tea made with basil leaves, cinammun , black pepper soothes the throat .
Avoid cold drinks ,ice creams , sour stingy things .
A thorough check up by ENT is advisable to rule out any other seious problem .
Hope this helps solves your query .
Take care All the best
