Specializes in Gastroenterology

You need to be evaluated.: If you feel that something may be stuck in your throat, you need to be evaluated. You should go to your family doctor or to a gastroenterologist. It is okay to continue using Pepcid (famotidine) or Tums as needed until you're seen, but you should try to be evaluated as soon as you can.
