Would Claritin Help Reduce Lumpy Sensation In Throat?

When I took my vitamins on Monday morning, it felt like they didn't go down my throat, but clung onto one another in my throat. Since then, I have more mucous than usual and what feels like an internal lump in my throat. Would Claritin help reduce this sensation? What do you recommend

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As your having lumpy sensation in the throat , it may be due to several reasons from injuries to infection.
The cause should be found out before starting the treatment.
The drug which you have asked is a drug prescribed for the allergy.
I would suggest you to consult your doctor before taking any drug, because cause for the present symptoms should be found out then treatment should be initiated.
