What Causes A Feeling Of Having A Lump In The Left Throat And Hearing Loss?

MRI, camera down the throat,,,revealed nothing. blood work ok, high glucose, thyroid good, white blood cells good, liver function good, kidney function good. I feel like I have a golf ball in my left throat, hearing loss. no problems swallowing or eating. food make it feel better, sour candy helps. Doctor thought my sub mandibular gland needs to come out. after a meal is when I have major choking feeling. I m at a loss. after a good nights rest it subsides, after being up and moving for about thirty minutes here comes the choking feeling. spitting up little chunks of mucus all day long. No sinus infection, no tumor found. 1 year of these symptoms now

Hello,

It could be enlarged tonsils or adenoids, which can cause compression over the Eustachian tube and can cause feelings of hearing loss.

Consult an ENT specialist and plan for a laryngoscopic examination. As of now, you can do warm saline gargles for symptomatic relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
