A member asked:
I have been having my throat feel like it's closing up and that something is stuck inside it for the past few days now and it only comes on when i lie down to sleep, i've been recently just recovering from a cold and cough?

The combination of some residual inflammation of the pharynx and some mucus or post nasal drip can be factors here. This can go on for some days. Drink adequate fluids to avoid dryness and thicker mucus.
