Feeling of something stuck in throat

[janedoe1969]

Hi.  For a month now, I've had this feeling of something being stuck in my throat, or as if there is a lump or something there.  I have been to an ear, nose, throat specialist twice.  He put me on Augmentin for 10 days, plus a precscription antacid.  He thought I had "Silent Reflux".......meaning I have no heartburn or any other symptoms, but that the acid was skipping my stomach and going to my throat, basically.  This did not work.  The next appt., he put a tube with the camera down my nose and looked at my throat.  He saw nothing.  He also did an XRay on my sinuses.  He saw that I had a blockage and an infection.  My septum is also crooked.  I told him I have no problems, although I do have drainage that I had not ever really noticed until all of this came up.  He put me on another round of antibiotics (5 day Z pack) and prescribed Flonase.  This has also NOT WORKED.  I'm about to lose my mind.  I go back in 2 days.  The doctor wants to check me for allergies,,,,,,,,,which I know I have, but they haven't bothered me at all.   Just curious if anyone else has experienced this, did it go away, and what did you do for it.  Thank you very much!

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  I'm not sure what is going on but a barium swallow or an upper GI series might be a good idea.  Have you seen a GI doctor about this?

Me again.   Just updating and hoping to get some responses.  After my 3rd visit to the ENT, he is now wanting to do sinus surgery!   I just am not convinced this will help.  He says I have this feeling due to nasal drip.............   I have no other problems with my sinuses.   I had my thryoid tested........normal results.  I had a doctor friend suggest to have a Barium Swallow done.......anyone heard of this?    My doctor seems to NOT want to do this.  Just not sure what else to do!
