for the past week, i've felt like i'm choking all the time. it feel like i have a little lump/ball the size of a grape in my throats. sometimes it's bigger and sometimes it's smaller. it feel like when you swallow a big piece of food, how it kind of goes slowly down your throat. it gets to the point sometimes where i feel like i'm about to gag/choke.


any ideas?

Throat Cancer. You're going to die in 2 weeks. Seriously, go see a @#$@$%^$@# doctor.

I had something like that a few years ago. Its probably a throat infection of some sort. Mine took about 2 weeks to clear up... 600mg Ibuprofen tabs were my friend.

you dont need a doctor, your doing so well thinking that it is nonething and that it will go away.

If you haven't had something stuck to your face the last few days, chances are it's not a chest burster...

throat infection. possibly strep. doctor would most likely prescribe antibiotics because it's not really worth it to differentiate between that and a viral infection.

Except that viral infections don't respond to antibiotics, yet the body builds an immunity to them, so when you do have an infection the anti-bodies don't help... Yeah no reason at all...
