LPR : Laryngopharygeal reflux is when a small amount of acid comes up into the throat and irritates it. It is a common cause of dry tickle cough, chronic sore throat, lump in the the throat , post nasal drip, phlegm in the throat, and throat clearing. It is also a contributing factor to ear eustachian  tube and sinus problems. It responds well to proton pump inhibitor Rx. Discuss with your ENT.

Accepted Answer

Visit your doctor: We predict swallowing problem to improve in 1-2 months after 3-level disc surgery.  You should ask your surgeon to confirm that fusion is complete and no problem with hardware such as screws.  He/she might order ct scan for that.  If fusion and hardware are good, you can request referral to ENT or GI doctor for further evaluation.

Question 6

i've been choking easily ,difficulty swallowing,constant headaches , feeling like if there is something stuck in throat.

Accepted Answer

Esophageal disorder: Your symptoms could be related to esophageal function versus a scarring or narrowing of the esophagus, and deserve further workup.  How they tie into a headache is unclear.  If your problem is actually swallowing then it could be neurologic.  If it's that food gets stuck on the way down it's more likely the esophagus and you should see a gastroenterologist.

gurgling in throat be only symptoms object stuck in throat of 2 yo? he eat/drink ok.cough in a.m. x 2 wk. sis thought he choking 3/31. no distress except hands on throat. dr sug x-ray. think it's extreme.

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 8

can one get food stuck in one's throat without choking?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Swallowing a large bite of rare meat can get lodged in the esophagus and may have to be removed by a physician.

Question 9

my throat feels like there's something stuck in it, almost like a feeling of choking on food, when i eat the it's like the food gets stuck on the throat then i vomit the food out, what could be the causing this?

Accepted Answer

Exam needed: I recommend an examination of your throat by an Otolaryngologist. You could have a pouch called a diverticulum in the back of your throat.

Question 10

how do i stop a sore throat after choking on food?

Accepted Answer

Take it easy: Best plan is to take it easy with foods until your throat recovers.  You can have soft foods and/or liquids like soup -- making sure the temperature is tolerable.  Unless you have severely damaged your throat, its mucosal lining should heal fairly quickly (within days).  In the meantime, advil or aleve (naproxen) may help.  Salt water gargles (don't swallow!); warm herbal teas. Stay hydrated.
