What Causes Throat Dysphagia?
I have had a feeling in my throat that is like having a lump that won t go away. I was diagnosed with strep back in late Feb. and was on 2 rounds of antibiotics. Then I was diagnosed with Thrush. In the past suffered from Reflux but the feeling is different this time. I m tired often. It doesn t hurt to swallow but feels like something is stuck....

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The throat dysphagia is commonly related to gastroesophageal reflux disease.
I suggest using a gastro protector such as Omeprazole 20 mg daily.
I also suggest using an antacid such as Maalox three times a day.
I recommend to drink liquids and avoid food that can trigger the symptoms.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
