Question 1

Accepted Answer

Smoke throat: You body is trying to tell you: DO NOT SMOKE.

Listen to it.

Unless you already have throat cancer.

Question 2

something stuck in throat , like there is scratch in throat , a feeling of obstruction , no cough , no pain , no acidity type feeling?

Accepted Answer

Tonsil stone?: A frequent cause for this type of symptom is a collection of debris or food particles in the small pockets of the tonsils.  These are known as tonsil stones and can be associated with bad breathe.  If there is a stone present, then try to dislodge it with a q-tip or water pick.  These are not dangerous, but more of a nuisance.  If the symptom persists, then it would be best to consult and ENT doc.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Get checked: Intubation can inflame the airways and sometimes cause infection. I would call the doctor/hospital for a check up. If worsening symptoms going to the hospital emergency room would be indicated. Good luck

Accepted Answer

A Pediatric: Exam is appropriate. If your md suggests an xray, that seems appropriate, too. Don't delay...This would be considered urgent. It would be best not to offer food or drink until your child's medical condition becomes clearer.

Question 5

flu left 2 weeks ago, sore throat when swallowing for 2 weeks. slight cough and lots of phlegm stuck in throat. could this be cancer? very worried

Accepted Answer

Extremely unlikely: This is far more likely to be allergic or a chronic viral sinusitis. Try an over the counter antihistamine (like loratidine) and see if it improves. If not, visit your doctor, but cancer rarely if ever presents with these symptoms. Hope this helps!

Lung problems: Sounds like an episode of acute bronchitis. If it lasts that long then something underlying is going on. Please see a lung specialist if not already done to get imaging and further diagnostic tests. There are several lung conditions that need to be evaluated.

Please see a MD asap: Simply stated, this can be a variety of very treatable conditions.

See your doctor: There are many things that can cause the sensation of something stuck in the throat including post-nasal drip, allergies, acid reflux as well as an actual foreign body or food stuck in the back of the throat.  It is best to see your primary care physician or ENT for an evaluation.

Visit ER or U Care: If the raisin remains stuck for a long time in the respiratory system with no treatment, can cause infection, such as recurrent aspiration pneumonia. This may result in chest pain and wheezing. Visit to ER or Urgent Care is warranted.
