I've been having this weird sensation like there's something stuck in my throat for the past few days. There's a sharp pain whenever I swallow, which is pretty uncomfortable even though I can still do everything else fine. I'm just wondering what could be causing this and if there's anything I can do to make it go away. Any advice?

you may be experiencing symptoms of esophageal irritation or inflammation. I recommend taking over-the-counter omeprazole. Additionally, you can try gargling with warm salt water and staying well-hydrated. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
