I felt as if something was stuck in my throat one morning.  It kind of felt like a sore troat but also as if something was stuck.  I had really bad breath for those days. I tried spitting is out but it didn't work. Finally, about 4-5 days later (today)I tried to unstick it again. Some white balls that looked like cheese in the shape of a tiny brains the size of a pea came out.  They smelled like my bad breath.  It was really weird and gross.  What coud that be? My throat still feel kind of weird I don't know if I may have more? \nPlease explain what it might be and how I can ger rid of it.

You seem to have a nasty infection although you fail to mention if you have or have had a fever.  However, this could be caused by all sorts of things from virus to bacteria.  It could be a simple streph throat or even a venereal disease, so I suggest you stop surfing the net for a couple of hours and get yourself checked out since what ever is causing this has not gone away by itself and it could get worse or even spread to your lungs.

Hmmm well eating ballons isn't that healthy no matter what thhy are coated with, just beacuse of the material they are made out.  But other than that there should be no other effects, talk to a doctor if you get any other symptoms though!

You should definitely see your GP to rule out anything sinister. But try not to worry - that sounds like a classic anxiety symptom to me.\n\nI get that sometimes, and it's extremely unpleasant and really feels like you're about to choke. You won't though, promise.

sounds like a bad cold or the flu to me. Go see a doctor and he can tell you everything you need to know. In the mean time you can get lot's of fresh Vitamin C (fresh lemons, oranges) and use the menthol rub and some throat losenges. Drink LOTS of water or Powerade. Eat some light soup, like chicken soup. (Not dark soup) But regardless of whether you fell like you might be getting better, go see a doctor and make sure it's not something serious.\n\nIf you have alot of phlem in your lungs, Mucinex works great(the GREEN pack, not the blue one) Hope you feel better!

I am sorry for your situation :(\nI have read that swallowing gobs of unchewed rice or bread helps. I have not tried that personally though. \n\nDo a google search on the subject, and you should surely come across lots of viewpoints and information related to this.\n\nI would suggest you see a doc soon. I wouldn't wanna take chances. \n\nHope it comes out soon!

the white spots are pus.  you probably have tonsilitis even if you don't feel any pain when swallowing (due to swelling).  best to see a doctor and get a prescription for antibiotics.

Globus pharyngeus.  I had this for a long time and it got so bad I had to sleep sitting up because I felt like I was choking.  With some new medication I haven't had it in like 5 months.

usually its a big clump of mucus and bacteria that was kinda stuck to your nasopharynx.......very smelly...thats the bacteria in it......you should definitely gargle with warm salt water over the next few days......these things will break loose from time to time......optimally its great if you dont have them but nothing to worry about if you do...

what concerns me is the "lump" that you feel in your throat, it could be obstructing your upper airway, so you try to breathe in harder -- and your chest feels tight because of too much negative force exerted when inhaling. \n\nwhen you talk, does it sound "muffled"? have you had any fever recently? that "lump" you feel in your throat, does it hurt?\nthis kind of symptom sounds like something that we would see on a 3-year-old child with epiglottis -- but since you're already using the internet, im guessing that you're already an adult or a teenager, (which epiglottitis is not common among). you should definitely have that checked out. speak to your physician, and let him/her know about your breathing problems as well. he/she should be able to recommend some tests done to you.

It sounds to me like what I had late last year. Walking pnemonia was the culprit and I had a very bad cough and was sore around my lungs (front and back) from coughing for days on end. I contacted my physician and he prescribed an antibiotic (I cannot remember which one) which helped fight the infection, and also prescribed cough syrup with codine to help supress the cough and enabled me to sleep at night. \n\nI hope this helps you out and most importantly - get well soon!\n\nOh, and I'm not a doctor - but I play one on Yahoo!

tonsilitis. until you can get to the doctor, try to keep sucking on cough drops and/or hard candy.\n\nfeel better. and if you do get your tonsils removed then you get to eat ice cream!!

Sounds like an allergy problem. \nI have the same thing and it's brought on by the mold in the air, like when it's over 20,000 for it's count.\nYou can try sucking on hard candy, (no dirty thoughts please). Or try drinking a little milk, if you're not lactose intolerant, it'll coat the throat and offer some relief.\nBut if it happens often and is difficult to swallow or breath, I shouldn't have to say it, but you should visit your doctor and see what he thinks and suggests you do for it.

As a medical student this is what I can think it may be:\n\n1) Have ur lymph nodes checked out.  There may be fluid in them.\n\n2) Check ur tonsils, maybe tonsilitis.... Do research on the palatine tonsils..(the 2 humps on the side of your mouth near the uvula)\n\n3) Get a baterial culture, like a strep test.  For all you know all you need is some good old penicillin.\n\n4) Do you have a fever?  IF so definitely get a strep test, and get blood work done to check for mono.\n\n5) Try and do salt + water gargles.  Salt is a good anticeptic.  Also mouthwash regualarly, it'll help to kill some bacteria.\n\nHope you feel better.... Again I'm only a medical student and not a doctor.  Sry, if my spelling is horrible... was never good at it.

i know this sounds gross, but you could gargle with salt water. it will taste gross, but will help. cough drops are not a bad idea either.\n\nhope you get you voice back,\n\nLexa   :)

you could have built up old food compacted in front of your tonsils, .. or just severe post nasal drip..Have you had a lot of conjestion? also, I have learned the hard way,...drink tons and tons of water..(not soda, or ginger) Water helps!:)

If you continue feeling like this...you should seek medical attention.  Over a year ago my throat was bothering me for over a week...I didn't do anything about it and ended up losing my voice for two weeks.  I finally sought medical attention when I lost my voice and found out that I had a polyp on my vocal cord.  So definitely if it continues to be a problem...Go see a doctor!!!

You should see a doctor. It could be polyps or cancer or a fish bone. No telling! It isn't worth wondering, best go get it looked at.\n\nI felt like someone was choking me so I went and asked my doctor, as it turns out, my thyroid had grown back over the last ten years since it was taken out and it was filled with nodules. Go figure! No one expected that answer.
