A member asked:

Feeling like something stuck in my throat lately. dont experience any sore throat, when i spit its relatively clear, but im starting to have a fear of swallowing. been dealing with anxiety recently. is this bc a physical or psychological issue?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It could be either. The symptom you describe is common in bacterial and viral infections. Other signs or symptoms could better point to an accurate diagnosis. It's best that you get examined by your primary doctor or an ENT.
