Something Stuck in my throat feeling

Question

Asked for Female, 23 Years

I have been getting this irritable sensation of something constantly stuck in my throat. it's not food, but rather feels like phelum. i don't feel acidic:, but to get rid of this sensation , I keep burping purposely. it's been 4-5 days since I have been feeling like this. I googled the symptoms and globus pharyngis popped up. I showed the same to the another doctor and he gave me an acid reflux gel syrup. no relief yet . need advice on the next steps.
