I've been having this weird sensation in my throat for the past month. It feels like something's stuck there, but it doesn't hurt. Sometimes it's right at the top of my throat, other times it's lower down. Eating and swallowing are totally fine, no problems there. Could you give me some advice on what's going on?

From your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing a sensation of something stuck in your throat without any pain or difficulty swallowing. This sensation is known as globus pharyngeus. It can be caused by various factors such as stress, post-nasal drip, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). To help alleviate this sensation, you can try over-the-counter antacids like Tums (calcium carbonate) to see if it improves. Additionally, drinking plenty of water, avoiding acidic or spicy foods, and practicing relaxation techniques may also be beneficial. If the sensation persists or worsens, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm dealing with nasal polyps in both of my nasal cavities and it's been really frustrating. I'm not sure what the best treatment options are. Can you guide me on what I should consider or expect when dealing with nasal polyps? And is there anything specific that has worked well for others or is usually recommended? It's been affecting my day-to-day life and I'd really appreciate some advice.
The treatment for nasal polyps typically involves the use of intranasal corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and shrink the polyps. I recommend using Flonase (fluticasone) nasal spray, 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. In addition, you can also use Nasacort (triamcinolone) nasal spray, 1-2 sprays in each nostril once daily. These medications can help improve symptoms and reduce the size of the nasal polyps.

I'm looking for some advice because I often get a throat infection when I eat curd or buttermilk, even if I leave it out of the fridge for a bit before eating. It makes me feel feverish and causes body pain, and the whole thing can last for about 45 days. The doctor usually gives me medicine or even antibiotics, and sometimes I have to get a shot for weakness, but I still feel weak for a week afterward. So I've been avoiding curd and buttermilk. I also seem to get throat infections with fever frequently throughout the year, especially during the rainy season. Do you know what's causing this or what I can do right away when I start feeling like I'm getting a throat infection?
