Have you ever felt a sudden blockage in your throat while eating, breaking into a cold sweat even without indigestion? If you constantly feel as though something is stuck despite nothing being there, finding it hard to breathe while feeling an unsettling anxiety, please listen closely to this discussion today. This may be the story of your daily struggle with a tightly constricted throat.

Do you wake up in the morning with a scratchy throat and an uncomfortable feeling as if something is stuck, perhaps experiencing this every single day? Especially after going outside on days with high fine dust levels, your throat stings and feels so dry that even swallowing saliva is often painful. Why does this persistent foreign body sensation in throat, which has become a chronic condition for modern people, keep happening only to me?

To all the women who brush it off saying it is fine when it really is not, do you find it difficult because of a stuffy feeling like something is caught in your throat, along with persistent throat-clearing or dry coughs? Does this growing foreign body sensation feel like plum-pit qi, making you shrink back from the glances of people around you even with a mask on? Let us look calmly together into the culprits of all this discomfort: postnasal drip and chronic cough.

Have you ever experienced this frustrating sensation where something feels stuck in your throat, refusing to come up when you try to spit it out and refusing to go down when you swallow? Constantly clearing your throat and coughing only seems to irritate it further, and you start worrying about how it looks to others. Hearing people describe this struggle in the clinic is always deeply concerning.
