A member asked:
Choked on spit and had a bad coughing fit. now it feels like i swallowed a marble and it got stuck half way down. why?

Throat: Sounds like silent acid reflux where a small bit of the acid of the stomach causes irritation of the throat and gives a lump feeling. If though you cant swallow at all you need to have it checked out today
