Could The Poking Feeling In The Left Side Of Throat Indicate Throat Inflammation?

Hello Doctor,

I feel like something's poking down the left side of the throat,it's been like this for a couple of days now. I've had similar problem 3 months back,met an ENT specialist and he diagnosed it to be inflammation down the throat. It's the same now. Could it be the same problem now??

Dear Friend
This kind of problem can be beacuse of any of the following reasons:
1. Acute pharyngitis or tonsillitis.
2. Ulcers over that local area.
3. Gastro esophageal reflux disease.
4. Layngitis.

I advise you to get an ENT evaluation once again.
You may discuss with your doctor to consider starting a combination like pantocid dsr once a day.
Stay Healthy.
