Suggest Treatment For Feeling Of Something Stuck In Throat
Hi. I have a feelingthat something is stuck on left back side of tongue. Other than that i have on and off throat pain and weird feeling in ear for more than a week which keeps switching from one ear to other. Have seen the doctor but he says that i had bacterial infection and tongue doesnt look suspicious aswell. I took antibiotics for a week but still throat pain isn't going and getting paranoid if a have any cancer.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of feeling of something stuck in throat which is leading to sore throat due to bacterial or viral infection of respiratory tract and it could be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. You should avoid spicy food and cold carbonated beverages. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. Do not lie down immediately after having food. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Doctor may order throat swab test and blood tests as well. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozenges one every 4 hours is helpful.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
