A member asked:

I feel like something stuck in my throat & throat become dry , my pcp says it's allergy no sore throat. nt present in morning. i can swallow and drink?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

LPR: In my experience, the symptom of something stuck in the throat is not usually an allergic symptom. You may have high reflux of acid or laryngeal-pharyngeal reflux or lpr. See an ENT doctor for specific diagnosis. Another possibility is spasm of the sphincter of the upper esophagus.
