What Causes Cold Sensation In The Throat?
I have had this coldness in the back of my throat for months now. Seems like the more I get worked up it comes on stronger. Saw my doctor and he told me to take Zertec D. Took it and it still hasn t gone away. Went to the ER and they told me to stop taking Zertec because it may be drying out my throat. I was told to take Pepsid AC because it seems to come on when I am overwhelmed/Stressed/Anxecious? Now I have a caugh with yellow mucus for about a week. My quility of life is stressing. The coldness in my throat is not painful just annoying. Seems to come on when stressed or when I eat tomato products? Please help? I m tired of going back and forth. I m 41 with 4 kids and I am a teacher and this annoying feeling is getting the best of me.

Hi,
The cold sensation that you are talking a can be due to caused like allergic reaction, stress, dry throat, acid reflux while at times can be due to post nasal drip.
A cough and mucous can be due to upper respiratory tract infection or post nasal drip secondary to a sinus infection.
So my suggestion is to consult an otolaryngologist and get evaluated. For now, you can take Mucinex cough syrup.
Do steam inhalations and use a humidifier in your room. Do warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash gargles. Avoid spicy and irritant foods. Drink plenty of water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
