Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query feeling of something stuck in the throat is due to granular pharyngitis or upper respiratory tract infection. But there can be other reasons also like tonsillitis , diverticulitis , esophageal web or some foreign body. I would suggest you to avoid eating and drinking acidic , spicy and hot food and beverages . Do warm saline gargles . If condition doesn't get better in 2-3 days then consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and go for swab test. Doctor may also go for throat endoscopy. Go for sputum test as well if required and start treatment as per proper diagnosis. Sip warm water after every few minutes.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
