What Causes Feeling Of Obstruction In Throat?
I ve had the feeling that something is stuck in my throat for about 5 days now. It seems to move around. I have intermitent chest pains in my left side. Coughing, gargling, trying to move the obstruction with my hand externally massaging the neck has not gotten any relief. Suggestions?

Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query.
I would suggest you to see doctor for examination and to rule out tonsillitis and Thyroid disorders ( goitre).
Based on the information I feel it might be due to sore throat and most of this illness caused by viruses and requires only symptomatic treatment.
So I would suggest you to continue warm salt water gargling and along with this suck lozenges like strepsil or cofsil few times a day.
If this doesn't help, see doctor and he can ask for upper GI endoscopy.
Hope this helps
Take care
