I'm really worried about this sensation of something stuck in my throat that's been bothering me for the last three months. At first, there was this heaviness near my throat, but thankfully that's gotten better. Whats weird is the problem of feeling like there's something there just won't go away. Earlier, I also had a burping issue, but thats stopped now. I should mention I used to smoke and have quit since March when these throat issues started. Any idea what could be going on?

Your persistent sensation of something stuck in your throat, despite improvement in heaviness, could be related to acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or a throat irritation; quitting smoking is a positive step, but consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions, such as a throat polyp, inflammation, or esophageal narrowing, and to discuss further diagnostic tests like endoscopy or imaging studies.

I've been having a rough time with a throat infection for the last four days after eating some oily food. I don't have a cold or cough, but my throat is really dry and it hurts every time I swallow. There's also a little bit of body pain going on. I took Erythro 250 and Colgin Plus, but they're not helping. What could be going on, and what should I do to feel better?
You can take an antibiotic like Augmentin 625mg twice a day for 5-7 days to target the infection. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for the body aches and throat pain. Make sure to drink plenty of warm fluids and get adequate rest to help your body recover. Ensure to consult a doctor before starting any medication.
