I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for a few days now. It's not painful or hard to swallow, just kind of uncomfortable. I took a look and saw a small bump, like 1 cm or maybe smaller, at the back of my tongue. I can also see my epiglottis and my uvula seems to be touching it. Is this something I should be worried about? It's been four days with this sensation, and I'm not sure what to do.

I've been dealing with a runny nose for about three weeks now. Whenever I take my medication, it seems to get better, but as soon as I stop, it comes back. I'm currently on levocetirizine, montekast, Sinarest, metaspray, and nip-slip tablets. I'm worried this isn't going away. Could it be something I'm missing or not doing right?
Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you may have a narrow esophagus or a condition called esophageal dysmotility, which can cause food particles to get stuck. The feeling of something stuck in your throat, even after recovering from a sore throat, could be related to this. Tonsil stones can also cause discomfort. However, without examining the picture and considering your overall medical history, it's difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. I strongly recommend consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination and guidance. They may perform an endoscopy or imaging tests to determine the cause of your symptoms.

I'm wondering about the benefits of gargling with either iodine salt in warm water or using a betadine solution. Which one do you think is more effective in terms of results, and why? I'm really curious about how they compare to each other.
