Please Help Me lump in throat

Hello for a little over a week now I feel like there is something in my throat like a ball.  It feels as if there is someone swqueezing my throat.  I do get acid reflux at times.  I don't know if that had anything to do with this.

I don't see an express relation here.?? What words?

Okay, you are going to see the ENT. You need post only after the visit.

Best,

TA

There is a great chance reflux (not only acid, the digestive enzymes in stomach too) is causing this. But to rule out other look-alikes, you have to visit an ENT.

I presume you have no difficulty in swallowing either fluid or solid food (rice or potato and the like - usual stuff)

Hope this helps.

Best,
