Throat: You need to see your doctor. He/she may refer you for tests to make sure nothing is blocked. After medical conditions are ruled out consider anxiety as a possibility. See a mental health professional to learn coping skills for stress. Peace and good health.

LPR : Laryngopharygeal reflux is when a small amount of acid comes up into the throat and irritates it. It is a common cause of dry tickle cough, chronic sore throat, lump in the the throat , post nasal drip, phlegm in the throat, and throat clearing. Many studies show it responds best to proton pump inhibitor rx, like Nexium, Dexilant, (dexlansoprazole) Protonix, etc. See an ENT MD for laryngoscopy to diagnose it.
