Question : When I coughed in the morning I can feel a bit my throats wanting to come up too. It's not painful but a feeling like a bit moves. I do have my tonsils but have not felt this before a month ago when I hacked kind of hard. Then this morning I coughed hard and felt it again

Brief Answer:
Nothing worrisome,it was due to coughing hard....

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.

You say that you coughed in the morning and you could feel a bit your throat wanting to come up too.
This is because you had a hard coughing, associated with a high pressure putting on your diaphragm and chest making you feel like throat going out too.

I believe your throat might be a bit inflamed, so you could feel it.

However, that is nothing worrisome. Keep good hygiene of your mouth and throat.
If it will get repeated, ENT specialist to check your mouth and run strep throat test for a more specific treatment.

Hope this eases your mind.
