I'm fairly certain it's what I have - cancer of the larynx. For me, surgery is no longer an option and the likelihood that chemo or radiation would work at this point is nil. So, I'm just waiting. Waiting to die, basically. The funny thing is, as I look back, no matter how much I insisted to my doctor, laryngologist and a head surgeon that I had this persistant "pill-stuck-in-the-throat" sensation, I would just get allergy-centric treatment (never had an allergy in my life), endoscopic exams and a number of ultrasounds with no clue. Finally, I went to EET Hospital in NY and I was diagnosed. Apparently, the endoscopy wasn't looking at the front of the esophagus, a commonly missed area because of how this exam technique is taught in med school. Anyway, but that time, it was too late. Oh, well. Best advice? Don't take no for an answer and go to an oncologist that specializes in throat, head and neck cancers. Do it now, if possible.

Since last night, I felt like something was stuck in my throat but couldn't really swallow it down or bring it up. Today, I tried eating bananas, potatoes, swallowing grapes, metamucil Fiber with water, corn water, coke, hot tea but nothing worked! I knew something starchy would help but couldn't go to a market and I know grated mountain potatoes would bring it right down. Also, minty energy drinks or juice (have these in asian markets) may help.
As I was researching online just now, still feeling uncomfortable, eating my throat candy, i sneezed. It went away!! It feels awesome!
Trying burping, sneezing and exercising guys!

im guessing all of you had the following symptoms also = intermitant pre-destined coughing (feel deprived?), sneezing (feel enlightened?), and ear itching(hey hey hey!!) . all tells on your subconcious natural reactions. the 'post nasal drip' is nothing different. man f**k this life is a trip, never lie it helps to not second guess your answers. good luck

If it doesnt hurt when u swallow and it had slimy feel to it, then i recommend you to drink lemonade with ginger and salt, add these three in cup, pour hot water in it, the taste doesnt need to be supper salty or sour, just enough so you can drink it, then drink it when it is warm so that youll not burn yor tongue, but do not drink it cold, it doesnt work well when it is cold, i did this for 3 days and my throat had got better, hope it helps, just make sure that you re not allergic of these ingredients.

I had this problem too, and I found a solution. It always happened right as I started to go to sleep. It feels like there is a ball of glue stuck to the back of my throat.... and drinking water, swallowing a thousands times, forcing myself to yack, drinking hot tea....UGGH! So, the only thing that worked for me was to lay on my belly, so whatever was stuck to the back of my throat would become un-stuck as I slept. Then, I discovered the cause. I was working a lot, and weird hours too, I was stressed out, always in a hurry, always tense, so I had to eat really fast, sometimes not chewing my food very well, usually right before I went to bed. I was being awful to my body.
Simply put, I started exercising in the morning, drinking water and no soft drinks, started yoga for relaxation and stretching, and I got myself on a routine and normal schedule. I am not sure exactly what helped me, perhaps it was a combo of everything. Anyways, this is what worked for me.
