What Causes Throat Irritation When Diagnosed With Hiatus Hernia?
I have the feeling of fur in the back of my throat. We have cats which we cuddle but we have had them for 13 years and I haven t had this before. It is also at the back of my tongue and the sides of my tongue at the back feel as though I have food on it. I have brushed my tongue with my toothbrush and also gargled and this is only a temporary relief. I do have a Hiatus hernia which is controlled with Nexium 40g... Do you have any suggestions please?

Hiatus hernia causes reflux disease which can cause you the symptoms.There can be reflux of gastric contents which causes foreign body sensation in throat.Adding a prokinetic drug with nexium can relieve your symptoms
