Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 40-year-old male. I am suffering from throat irritations for the last three months. I feel like something got stuck in my throat and I feel like phlegm, but it is not coming out. I am not using pillows when I sleep, if I use pillows I am feeling stiffness in my throat. I have no swallowing difficulties until now. Currently, I have no fever and cough. I have recurrent tonsillitis. If I drink cold water then the next day I will get throat pain. Can you please give me some advice?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your problem. You may be suffering from chronic pharyngitis with tonsillitis. This chronic pharyngitis may lead to irritation in the throat and foreign body sensation.
Other possibilities like acid reflux, or postnasal discharge, or sleep apnea may also present like this.
