For the past few days i have been having a feeling of discomfort in my throat, almost as if i have food stuck in it. it is not unbearable but a little concerning. what could cause this? is this serious?should i go and see a doctor?

Wait: It is possible that you are having a pharyngitis, this is due to your body recognizing and mounting a defense against certain bacteria or virus. Let another 4 days pass and drink a lot of water. If the discomfort persist, visit your doctor.
