feels like a lump in my throat.
by blisseanonyonatu, Jun 28, 2009 09:01PM
so i believe i have an allergy, just don't know what it is!
i feel like it's after i eat fresh produce. although, it started in 2007 maybe skipped a bit of time- perhaps just skipped winter? but i've been getting it again these past few weeks.
it feels like perhaps a bump or lump on one side of my throat near the adams apple. it's not that horrible- but it lasts a few hours and is REALLY quite irritating. it makes swallowing uncomfortable. its not in any way sore- just as if something was lodged there.
any ideas anyone?

Thanks for writing to the forum!
It could either be a food allergy which you can confirm only by allergy tests. It could also be due to acid reflux. Omeprazole is a good drug to combat this. Many over the counter options are available. Your chemist can help you with this. Along with it you can try over the counter antacids. However I would recommend you see a doctor and take medication under a doctor’s supervision. Avoid heavy meals. Avoid too much of caffeine, tea, fried food and drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic fuzzy ones. Avoid heavy exercises within 4 hours of a heavy meal. Raise the head end of the bed by pillows to 30 degrees. Go to bed at least 2 hours after food. Maybe these tips will help you. You should see a gastroenterologist (a specialist who looks after the diseases of our digestive system) for this if these tips reduce your symptoms.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Do consult your doctor. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
