I feel like there is something in my throat that I can’t cough up.

Patients feel something blocked inside the throat and cannot cough it out, which is clinically called foreign body sensation in the throat. The most common cause is chronic laryngitis, which is mainly related to the patient’s frequent speech, inattention to voice rest or eating spicy and stimulating food, too acidic and salty food, staying up late at night, not being able to work and rest reasonably, smoking and drinking a lot of alcohol. In terms of treatment, the patient can take oral Ganghuang Bingmei Tablets, Liushen Pill, Golden Voice and Pharyngeal Pill to relieve the foreign body feeling in the throat, and can also do nebulized inhalation treatment with beclomethasone propionate. The patient’s condition should improve significantly after a week or so of active medication. If it does not improve, the patient needs to go to the hospital to improve the laryngoscopy to clarify the specific situation in the throat.
