Why do I feel something stuck in my throat?
Feeling like something is stuck in my throat but there is no pain
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
Feeling like an obstruction somewhere at the throat without any pain could be a sign of globus sensation. This often benign condition could be a result of stress or anxiety, as well as acid reflux. Yet, it would be better to see an ENT specialist to eliminate any underlying issues and get the best treatment for them.

From the symptoms you have shared it seems that you are suffering from an infection in your finger after the K wire operation. It is of utmost necessity to have a consultation with an orthopedist surgeon at the earliest.

The hot bath and Preparation H cream you are using may provide some relief but you should be aware that bleeding is not a usual cause of hemorrhoids. I advise you to see a specialist, a gastroenterologist, who knows how to diagnose and treat your condition properly. If you have any rectal blood loss symptoms, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible.
