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'm feeling something hairy-like deep down in my throat, and it's been going on for almost three months now. It makes me feel like I need to throw up or spit something out, but nothing actually comes out. This usually happens when I'm around dust or during a flu. I'm not pregnant, so I'm trying to figure out what's causing this sensation. Could you help me understand what's happening with my throat?
The symptoms you are describing could be due to post-nasal drip, which is a common condition where mucus accumulates in the back of your throat and can cause the sensation of something stuck or tickling in your throat. To help alleviate this discomfort, you can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) once daily to reduce mucus production. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray like Ocean (sodium chloride) can help clear out any mucus in your nasal passages. If these symptoms persist, it would be advisable to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with Granular Pharyngitis and have been for a few years now. My throat constantly feels heavy and clogged with cough, and I find myself needing to clear it all the time. It's tough to talk sometimes, and my voice has gone hoarse permanently. I saw a local ENT specialist, but I didn't get much help. Do you think I should get a second opinion? Any advice on dealing with this would be really appreciated.
I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with Granular Pharyngitis. It can be frustrating, especially when it affects your voice and makes talking difficult. Seeking a second opinion is a good idea, as a more thorough evaluation and treatment plan can help manage symptoms better. It might be useful to look into lifestyle changes, medication, or even voice therapy depending on the severity.
