What Causes The Feeling Of Something Stuck In Throat?

Hello, I am a 21 year old female..I recently started taking phentermine, and it had given me the urge to smoke more than normal. I was smoking a pack a day for a few days and now it s about a half a pack a day.. for the past 4 days, it s felt like there is something stuck on the right side of my throat, right above my collar bone.. what could it be?

Hello

It is likely that your glands have enlarged or there is a swelling in your throat because of smoking and this is causing the feeling of something being stuck in your throat. Please stop taking phentermine and meet your doctor as soon as possible for further treatment.

Thanks
