What to do when there is a feeling of something stuck in the throat? - Dr.Harihara Murthy

When there is some sensation of a foreign body in the throat, it can be a foreign body itself when ingested while eating inadvertently or it could be because of a swelling of the tissues in the throat. The swelling can hope at the level of the base tongue which is the lingual tonsil . It can happen at the level of the tonsils itself which can enlarge and case obstruction in food which we swallow or give rise to something being there while lying down. Apart from that the swelling of the pharyngeal tissues because of chronic granular phayrngitis can also give rise to this kind of a sensation. Apart from that in India there are many peel who are anemic and very severe anemia can also give rise to swellings at the lower end of the throat which is the entrance of the esophagus which is the entrance of the esophagus, we call it as the post cricoid area. In that region there can be the formation of folds of tissues that give rise to this kind of a sensation. If the sensation persist and does not go with the use of gargles, it is necessary that you meet your ENT specialist and identify the cause for which it ha s to be treated.

Guys get checked up at ENT doctor. My doctor told that my nose was infected and due to which thick substance from nose was dripping from back of the nose to the throat and thats making me feel like something's stuck.

Here's another thing. Sometimes I feel like it's some semi sticky things like mayonnaise because when I eat something like shawarma this happens and its noticeable. However he also told I got alergy so there's no cure there's only some precautions that can be taken. And you need to observe them.

Most of the people here worrying should also visit an ENT doctor.

May Allah bless y'all with good health.

I did this with a big gob of steak. I felt a lump in my throat, tried to swallow some water and the water went nowhere. I could still breathe OK so no panic. I tried to relax and massage my throat. It gurgled a couple of times and after a couple of minutes it went down. I was confident in the malleability of my body and the cow's flesh. If it hadn't I'd have gone straight to the ER. (A couple of days later I had a similar experience, with chicken. I think my esophagus might have swollen from the previous strain so I only ate very, very small bites at a time for a while.) I had vocal problems for a while. Chew your food.

guys I got a little piece of oregano wood stuck between the base of my tongue and the entrance of my throat and I tried every known means possible, from drinking and gargling water to throwing up A LOT, to drinking coke and shoving my fingers my throat, NOTHING WORKED. PLEASE HELP.

*UPDATE* : ITS FINALLY GONE, after visiting some doctors the thing was a bit deep and hidden in so its not easy to get it out, but they gave me a spray that helps ease the pain and kinda lubricates the throat so that the food goes down easily (in case it didn't work for a week then that's where I need to go to the hospital), so after using a few times and ate a meal I realized that the piece went down with the food 😅. the feeling stays for like a couple of days but there isn't any pain or feeling of it which confirms that it's gone. so one advice for me, WATCH what you're eating and make sure that you're throat is hydrated enough before eating anything. have a safe day! (or just away from the food kind that can get stuck in your shit lol)

I had this problem for about 4 months and since then I have gained 30 pounds and am playing sports. You may be in a dark place right now but trust me it gets better. I am more happier than I could ever be. If you are still struggling please know you are not alone and that there are people there for you.

Hello everyone, I hope you are well. Had this problem, started taking omeprazole, as well as 2 Advils and drinking alkeseltzer, after a few days this helped me and the feeling has subsided considerably, I hope this helps you all ❤

It feels like I have a piece of popcorn on the back of my throat. I’m not coughing or nothing but it’s so irritating. I feel like I need to stratch it. And my chest feels so heavy. Like my breathing. I don’t know if I’m allergic to something. Because I have never have been in my whole life
