Having A Feeling Of Something Stuck Inside The Throat & Also Cough

I have had a cough for a few months now and now am finding it hard to swallow-like something is stuck in my throat, I have no cold with it but feels like the start of a cold every day-my neck and jaw aches on and offf and my voice seems croaky/hoarse on and off??
I can now see a couple of red spots on my tongue??

Hi thanks for contacting health care magic.

You have congestion along with respiratory infection...
As hoarseness of voice present , there could be laryngitis like larynx involvement....

So you need to consult ENT surgeon for your indirect laryngoscopy examination to visualize larynx.....

As red spot on tongue infection could be viral....
Posterior pharynx also examined for enlarge tonsil ...If enlarge stuck feeling in throat can occur....

You need to given short term steroid and antibiotic....
Steam inhalation useful....
If blocked nose present then fluticasone nasal spray might given.

Avoid excess fried and spicy foods.
Frequent sips of hot water useful.

With keeping this in mind consult Ent surgeon.

Take care
