See answer: Unfortunately not quite enough information to give precise advice but a few thoughts come to mind: Possibly the throat closing sensation is related to a post nasal drip or gag reflex. If this has been a constant feeling for number of days it's less likely to be an allergic reaction which would require a trip to the ER. sinusitis> http://bit.ly/1vAJYuJ for consultation>http://bit.ly/1OiIRcI
