What To For The Feeling Like Something Stuck In Throat?

I feel like a tablet is stuck in my throat and has been like this for 24 hours. Hurts to eat drink and swallow....lying down is awful. I took doxycycline with a sip of water and no food just before bed last night. I think this is what caused it. Pain is really bad. Do I need to go to hospital?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of feeling of something stuck in your throat, need not to worry as 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 .

I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles , eat soft food and 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
