Question : For the past several days I have felt a tightness in my throat - not a sore throat. My breathing and swallowing seem normal, but it does feel like whatever this is right where I swallow.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed this information fully. IT doesn’t point to any specific disease condition and doesn’t seem to represent any immediate danger at this time. I will suggest that you monitor only. If any further symptoms set in, we will review and see whether something else would need to be done.

Update me within 48-72hours for further insights and guidance. Until next, I wish you well.
