Q: Lump In Throat / Trouble Swallowing

asked by: drpepper0 on February 1st, 2006

Hi everyone. Last friday, my throat began feeling swollen/tight and I could not swallow anything but liquids. I have still not been able to swallow anything but pudding, sorbet, popsicles, and water. I went to an ear/nose/throat doc today, he did not find anything wrong.

As I sit here, my throat is extremely tight and I feel as though I have a lump in my throat.

What could this be? Anyone else experience the same thing?

Not gerd--no feeling of burning, just extremely tense and can't swallow "real" food, just liquids still
