The feeling of something stuck in the throat, blocked ears, and gas release can often happen due to cold, throat irritation, or acidity (gastritis/acid reflux). During cold, congestion in the nose and throat can also give a “lump in throat” sensation and block the ears.
Next Steps
Take plenty of warm fluids and steam inhalation to relieve throat and ear blockage.
Do warm salt-water gargles 2–3 times a day.
Avoid spicy, oily, and late-night meals to reduce acidity.
If nose block is there, a saline nasal spray can help.
Health Tips
If symptoms persist for more than a week, worsen, or if you develop difficulty swallowing, severe pain, or fever, then kindly see an ENT doctor for a proper examination.
