What Causes Throat Discomfort?
Hello Dr., I am curious as to what might be causing a feeling like there is something crusty stuck in my throat. It s annoying but not painful. I still have my tonsils. I am 45 years of age. I can swallow but it feels like there is swelling but again, no pain. Please advise if you need additional information.

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be tonsillitis, acid reflux, esophagitis, sore throat.
I would suggest to consult the ENT specialist and undergo neck examination to rule out the cause.
Doctor will give following advises:
Tablet augmentin
Tablet ibuprofen
Tablet esmoprazole and syrup mucaine for acid reflux and esophagitis
Drink plenty of warm water
Do gargle with added betadine
Avoid cold beverages
Eat light and soft diet
Use humidifier
Hope this may help you
Contact HCM for further health query
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
