[stuck_123]

What is stuck in the back of my throat? How can i get rid of this? Had it about 3 weeks. Never had this before. When I swollow or rinse it won't go down. It's really irritating me now.

I've been having the same issue for the last few weeks went to a few docs and they all said it was post nasal drip but how can they be certain when they never check. It has been worrying me. But with gerd does it always come with heartburn as well how can i tell its acid reflux or post nasal drip. The doctors haven't been very helpful and its driving me crazy. Did you get the chance to find out at all?

Hello,
The few common possibilities of your symptoms are acid reflux/GERD, post nasal drip, throat infection, enlarged tonsils etc. Try doing warm saline gargles. That might help. This is only an advice and not a substitute for medical examination. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause.Keep me posted with more queries. Hope it helped.
Best wishes and regards!
