I've been having this uncomfortable feeling in my throat, like there's something stuck in my larynx. I had a tonsillectomy about three years ago and I'm worried it might be related. On top of that, I'm experiencing some breathing problems. Could this all be connected? Would love to understand what's possibly going on.

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.

When I use Duonase nasal spray, I notice it ends up in my throat after a while. Should I be swallowing it or is it better to spit it out?

If Duonase nasal spray drips into your throat after use, it is generally safe to swallow. However, if you find the taste unpleasant or if it's causing irritation, you can spit it out. Just ensure you follow the recommended dosage and consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

So, I'm really worried about my cousin who's been dealing with mouth ulcers a lot. My family's regular doctor mentioned maybe seeing an ENT specialist, but I'm not quite sure if that's the right path. She's tried dietary supplements and a bunch of other stuff, but nothing seems to help. Now the ulcers just won't go away. Who do you think would be the right specialist for this?

You can visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
