Everything is draining into my throat (not my nose). if untreated, could this cause strep?

Post Nasal Drip: Hello. Your feeling in the throat is called a globus sensation. Causes of globus could be from allergy or laryngopharyngoreflux which is reflux of a chemical called pepsin. This enzyme helps our body digest the protein in our food. If it refluxes it may not be detected by a Ba swallow or EGD. A low acid diet is usually helpful to eliminate these symptoms. Allergy medications may help too.
