Suggest Treatment For Stuck Phlegm In Throat Along With Choking Sensation

Every time I swallow, I can feel phlegm in my throat, it is difficult to get out and I sometimes have trouble swallowing. Sometimes I feel like I'm choking. I could not eat my dinner tonight because I felt like my food was blocking my throat. Could there be swelling in the back of my throat or it is something else?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your have symptoms stuck phlegm in throat along with choking sensation is due to gastroesophageal reflux disease. It could be due to Recurrent sinusitis. I would suggest you to drink warm water and do gargles on daily basis. Take medication such as Domperidone for few months. Take steam inhalation. Avoid hot sharp spicy foods. Don't smoke. Maintain hydration level of body and take multivitamin tablets. If along with throat nose gets blocked use nasal sprays. If your condition keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
