Q: Is There Something In My Throat?

Well I just got back from the E.R. room which was of absolutely no help to me AT ALL. (Especially since I paid $400 out of my pocket since I have no insurance)

Well anyways they said it may be a "virus"..

Whenever I yawn or move my adams apple too much downwards it feels like there is something poking my throat...

It's the kind of feeling you get when you accidentally swallow a potato chip without chewing... I can drink water and eat fine... But whenever I yawn or have too much movement where my adams apple is it hurts!

Any ideas...?

Hi
Did they not insert a probe into your throat to explore? This instrutment usually has a small light on it. Try eating some bread, if there IS anything stuck in there, it will get dislodged by the white bread. I would get a copy of the ER report if this continues in order to take to a ear , nose and throat specialist in the event it does not get better. I'd hope it might not be some sort of growth,. But if this sould be hte case, you'll have areport from the ER telling you nothing was wrong......."WRONGFUL SUIT??????????Hope everything goes well for oyu!

Hi
Hey Scott, it could also be hony that you have infection built up in htere, not the strep type that lines you throat. Have you tried garggling with peroxide and water? This is suppose to kill infection/viral crap in your throat. Like I said, give it a few days and if it still feel like yo uahve something in your throat, go and have it looked at by an era, nose throat specailit Surprised e!

I've had that and it just went away on its own. I kind of felt sinusey. Has it gone away yet?
