What if I feel something in my throat?

With the change of the weather, many people often feel as if there is something in their throat that they can't spit out and swallow, but they can eat and talk very neatly. They seek medical advice everywhere and take a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs, which is very painful mentally. What should I do? In fact, Chinese medicine recorded this phenomenon in detail as early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was called "plum pit gas" because it blocked the throat like plum pit, and it could not be coughed up and swallowed. The cause of the disease is stagnation of seven emotions, which leads to phlegm and saliva condensation and throat obstruction. It is more common to feel a ball plug, itching, urgency, adhesion, burning sensation, swallowing obstruction without dysphagia, ant walking sensation and so on. Or there is a feeling that the neck is tight and the collar can't be buckled. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, such as chronic inflammation of upper respiratory tract, pharyngeal muscle spasm, esophageal muscle spasm, cervical spondylosis, reflux esophagitis, gastropathy, anemia, early swelling of throat, esophageal cancer, etc., followed by mental diseases, such as pharyngeal neurosis, hysteria, suspected cancer, schizophrenia, anxiety, stress, frequent staying up late under work pressure, allergies, and so on. In this case, the patient first goes to the Otolaryngology Department of a regular general hospital or the Head and Neck Department of a tumor hospital for medical treatment, and carefully examines the nasopharynx, oropharynx and hypopharynx. If necessary, he will do fiberoptic laryngoscopy to rule out laryngeal diseases, check the neck for abnormalities, scars and lumps, and do esophageal barium meal or esophagoscopy to rule out esophageal diseases. Generally speaking, if the course of pharyngeal paraesthesia is long and the symptoms are not obvious when eating, it is unlikely that the tumor is the cause. Once the cause is found, it is most important to treat it accordingly. If you don't find related diseases, you should lighten your mental burden, be cheerful, drink more water, talk less, live a regular life, try not to stay up late and divert your attention. I believe it will get better after a while.
