What Causes Lump Feeling And Burning Sensation In Throat?
My symptoms are a icy hot sensation in my throat and mouth and a lump sensation in my throat. The only way I've found I can alleviate the discomfort is by eating, drinking or chewing gum. It's not painful but a very annoying feeling. I've had this 24/7 for over a month now. My doctor does not believe it is acid reflux, so what could it be?
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain burning sensation in throat along with feeling of a lump that relieves on taking food, drinking or chewing gum can be due to a few causes like Acid reflux, laryngopharyngeal reflux, throat inflammation etc.. The cause can be confirmed only after a thorough clinical evaluation like laryngoscopy, upper G.I Endoscopy etc. Once the cause is confirmed treatment can be done accordingly..
As of now you can do warm saline gargles, take a soft diet and avoid spicy,acidic and hot foods. Drink plenty of water ..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
