A member asked:

What would cause a spot about the size of a nickel, inside the throat . to feel like its being burnt by a very hot cigarette car lighter. after eating at times ? how can this be prevented?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor, preferably an ENT doctor. Wish you good health!
