Can I take a Cialis or Viagra tablet before having sex, and would I be able to get it from a pharmacy? Is there another tablet I can buy at a pharmacy for a longer-lasting erection? Also, I live in Chennai.

Persistent throat discomfort and sensations of something being stuck can be concerning.

Given your symptoms and previous endoscopy, possible causes include:

  • Acid reflux (GERD)
  • Laryngopharyngeal reflux
  • Allergies or sinus issues
  • Irritation from spicy food

Consult your ENT doctor again to discuss:

  • Adjusting medications or adding new ones
  • Lifestyle changes (diet, posture, stress management)
  • Further testing or procedures if needed
