What Could Feeling Of Something Stuck In Throat After Being Treated For Cold Mean?
My 27 year old son just got over a cold but has the feeling that something is stuck in his throat that is causing him to constantly clear his throat. He has gargles with warm salt water drank tea with honey and lemon but still feels like something is there. What can he do?
There could be swelling in the posterior pharyngeal wall which is causing the discomfort. Please let him continue with the measures he has already started. Also, he will require an oral anti-inflammatory medicine such as diclofenac or ibuprofen and a povidone iodine throat spray.
With the above measures he will be alright.
Regards
