Why Do I Have The Feeling That Something Is Stuck In The Throat?
I woke up choking...I felt like something was stuck in my throat, like flem...I tried coughing it out, I tried gargling it out..but it won t come out. It just sits there all day. It doesn t hurt, i can eat, I don t have a fever, but it is still there. I feel it when I swallow, I feel it when I breathe, and when I talk.

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of feeling that something is stuck in the throat which could be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease, strep throat and could be esophageal web.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for endoscopy as well. You should start treatment after proper prescription from doctor.
- Take diet rich in soft food.
- Drink plenty of water and liquids.
- Do warm saline gargles.
- Avoid intake of sharp and spicy food.
- Do Not lay down immediately after having food.
You should take combination of antacids along with antibiotics. Doctor may refer you to gastroenterologist, who may go for surgery of lower end of esophageal sphincter if pressure is really high only after proper examination.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
