Something stuck in throat

Hi,

I feel as if I have something stuck at the back of my throat  weather it be food or what not but I have tried gargling salt and water but it doesnt seem to be going away I have had this for about 10 days now and its becoming annoying when I drink any thing. Its like I can feel it there but cant seem to see it.
Any ideas what it is or How to get rid of it.

Could be strep when I used to get it I'd get white spots.  They will put you on antibitics if that is the prob. Your Dr. will check for that when you see him.  Good luck.  cat

I had an ENT tell me that because of my chronic sinusitus and acid reflux. There is a bit of errosion on the lining of the esopagus, Should ask PCP for a prescription for acid reflux. Since I was on it at one time I'll just as for it . I was taking acifex. Good luck I know how it feels. Check with your Dr, or an ENT.
