Question 1

i've been on prilosec for a while as well as zoloft (sertraline).  still have lump in throat feeling and now a dry mouth.  ?

Accepted Answer

Talk to doctor: I presume your doctor was treated you for laryngopharyngeal reflux. Assuming that you are taking Prilosec correctly (before breakfast) , you may need to take it before dinner as well but should not do so until you have talked to your doctor.  If the problem persists, see an ENT doctor.

Question 2

started zoloft (sertraline) 25mg 5 days ago, feeling a lump in the throat when swallowing. is this a side effect? also taking potassium 20meq er tablets.

Accepted Answer

No: This is not a usual side effect.
Would it help if you did some relaxation exercises-even deep breathing.
Wish you all the best.

Question 3

my allergies causing lump in throat, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Throat lump: This can be life threatening, please seek medical help immediately when it happens and carry an epinephrine auto injector, please consult an allergist asap

Question 4

can being sick with a cough cause a lump in throat?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A cough is likely a part of an upper respiratory tract infection, probably viral in nature. If the lump is inside your throat this could also be a strep tonsil infection. I would first recommend rest, plenty of fluids and you can also try gargling with salt water. If you get worse or not much better in a few days, I would seek  medical advice. All the best.

Question 5

how do you get rid of the lump in throat feeling??

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: Psychotherapy and medication for anxiety helps . For the blood in the toilet you need to stop taking NSAID until you get checked to rule out a bleeding stomach ulcer. Consult your  primary care doctor for an exam and testing.

Question 6

can a tonsil be deep and feel like a lump in throat ?

Accepted Answer

Define tonsil ?: The general lay term for tonsils is the 2 palatine tonsils located on either side at the back of the throat. It is lymphatic tissue in a cluster. There is also lymphatic tissue in small clusters scattered from the swallow mechanism of the gut to the anus. A lump in your throat is more likely something unrelated to these but to acid reflux /irritation of the swallow tube.

Question 7

is it normal to feel a lump in throat after acdf surgery?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If it is one- three days  not normal but possible. In any case you should talk to your surgeon.

Question 8

i have strange lump in throat feeling with asthma, what is this?

Accepted Answer

Get tested: Often there are other conditions that can worsen or even appear like asthma. Vocal cord dysfunction can be one of these. A spirometry test can be used to rule this out. It is a simple non-invasive test and can be done in your physician's office. 
Get tested. Good luck, .

Question 9
