Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I feel as if there is something stuck or moving in my throat around the back of the mouth to the Adam's apple. It has been bothering me for a few days. There is no pain associated with it, just the feeling as if something is moving up and down my throat. It goes down if I swallow, and comes up if I let it.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

A foreign body sensation or a feeling of something stuck in the throat is a very common complaint. There are so many causes like acid reflux, pharyngitis and allergic rhinitis that could cause the feeling. I suggest: 1. You take tablet Pantoprazole 40 mg on an empty stomach for 10 days. 2. Tablet Montelukast-Levocetrizine at bed time for 10 days. 3. Warm saline gargles four times a day. 4. Avoid spicy, oily food, and cold drinks. 5. Avoid smoking. 6. If symptoms do not get relieved even after five days, take a course of tablet Azithromycin 500 mg once a day for five days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicine with their consent.
