A member asked:

Can allergies and post nasal drip make you feel like there is something stuck in your throat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Post nasal drip from nasal allergies and congestion can give you the feeling of throat discomfort that resembles something stuck in your throat, you can use a saline nasal spray but your best response will be to a medicated nasal spray. Ask your doctor for a prescription.
