Throat croaking!

[Bloomboo]

Hello everyone. I was just wondering is it normal for the throat to release a croaking sound when you're stomach is trying to release air, but not burp? This happens to me quite often especially after drinking liquids which i assume i swallow air when i drink. Also the croaking sound happens after burping, as if releasing all the leftover air in the stomach. It isnt really a problem as it does not hurt or bring other complications. Im just worried it might be a symptom of some other sickness. It is quite embarrassing sometimes as i believe the croaking sound are pretty audible. So im wondering is this something completely normal, or is it a problem? Thank You. PS i am pretty sure i dont have acid reflux or sny other sickness at the moment.

Hello!
I am pretty sure i do not have laryngitis or any other disease for that matter...it just feels like air is trying to be release from the throat, and a croak sound can be heard...

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Sounds from the throat are generally due to stridor. These can be due to laryngitis or inflammation of the voice box, smoke inhalation injury to vocal cord, swollen tonsils or adenoids, allergic reaction to smoke or any other allergen or due to excess phlegm secretion again due to allergy. It can also be due to reflux. Gas coming up during a burp can also act as an irritant.
Raise head end of bed. Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, fuzzy drinks, caffeine, and spicy food. Walking around also helps clear gas.
If this does not help, consult your PCP for a referral to an ENT. Take care!
