Hi, It is common to feel the presence of foreign body in throat even though it is not there, as per the history you have provided. The causes can be: - Trauma to the epiglottis or nearby structures due to self trial at home by most of the patients (Trying to put in fingers to remove something that is felt is the commonest reason for such trauma) - Epiglottitis can start with the same feeling - Granular pharyngitis Since the endoscopy is normal and there is no food particle as told by your doctors I would advise you the following: - Request for a prescription for an anti-inflammatory with painkiller properties - Oral steroid for early recovery - Take plenty of warm fluids - Take rest - Take voice rest also; you will be better soon Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
