I have had a cold (post nasal drip, severe coughing, headache) for a little over a week now that has just started to clear up. Today I have had a feeling like a pill is stuck in my throat. I have tried eating foods, drinking water / tea / soda. nothing will make the feeling go away. I have even tried to stick my finger down my throat to see if I could dislodge it, nothing works. I do still have post nasal drip and now when I blow my nose it has a bit of blood in it. I can't stand this feeling much longer... wondering if anyone has suggestions on what I can do to relieve this besides going to the doctor
