There seems to be something in the throat

It is definitely abnormal to have something in the throat. The food people eat must pass through the throat into the digestive tract. If there is food blocking the throat, then people will not be able to eat. This is why people often get stuck with fish bones. People think that if there is a foreign object in the throat that can be swallowed, it is not a big deal. But if it cannot be swallowed, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to have peace of mind.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the cause of the disease is due to the stagnation of seven emotions, which causes the condensation of phlegm and obstruction of qi in the throat. Common symptoms include a feeling of clogging, itching, urgency, stickiness, burning sensation, swallowing obstruction without difficulty swallowing, and a crawling sensation. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, such as chronic inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, pharyngeal muscle spasm, cervical spondylosis, anemia, followed by mental illness, such as pharyngeal neurosis, suspected cancer, anxiety, mental tension, staying up late, allergic constitution, endocrine disorders, and abnormal climate.

In this case, the patient should first visit the otolaryngology or head and neck department for a careful examination of the nasopharynx, oropharynx and hypopharynx. If necessary, a fiberoptic laryngoscopy should be performed to rule out throat diseases. The neck should be checked for deformities, scars, or masses. An esophageal barium meal or esophagoscopy should be performed to rule out esophageal diseases. Generally speaking, if the course of pharyngeal paresthesia is long, there is only a feeling of blockage but no swallowing difficulty, and the symptoms are not as obvious as usual when eating, it is unlikely that a tumor is the cause. Once the cause of the disease is discovered, it is most important to provide appropriate treatment. If no related diseases are found, you should relieve your mental burden, be in a good mood, drink more water, talk less, live a regular life, try not to stay up late, and divert your attention. I believe that things will gradually get better after a period of time.
