Globus feeling in throat in very common these days
There is no easy fix or medication for it bcz no abnormality is found on testing
There can be many reasons for this - digestion issues, acid reflux, subclinical calcium deficiency and many more
Work with a holistic doctor to find and fix root cause
It may take some time

After travel and outside food + cashews, your nausea, throat mucus and block feeling, occasional trouble swallowing, gas/burps, red painful tongue and chest burn is most likely acid reflux/LPR worsened by oily food plus mouth/throat irritation or mild allergy to cashews, but because trouble swallowing and throat block are red flags, please visit physically and avoid cashews, spicy/fried food, tea/coffee on empty stomach and lying down after meals, eat small frequent meals, keep head raised while sleeping, take warm water sips, and go to ER immediately if you have breathing difficulty, lip/tongue swelling, drooling, voice change, inability to swallow even water, fever or white coating on tongue.

Your symptoms may be due to acid reflux (GERD) or esophageal irritation.
However, difficulty swallowing needs urgent medical evaluation.
Please visit a doctor today. If you cannot swallow saliva or have difficulty breathing, go to the emergency department immediately.

Outside food and snacks are often high in fats, spices, and sodium, which are notorious triggers for severe acid reflux. When stomach acid travels up into the esophagus and throat, it damages the delicate mucosal lining. To protect itself, the throat produces excess mucus. The resulting inflammation can create a "globus sensation"—the constant feeling that something is blocked or stuck in your throat, which can sometimes make initiating a swallow feel mechanically difficult.
Your red, painful tongue could be caused by direct contact with highly acidic gastric juices during severe reflux episodes, or it could be a direct chemical or infectious irritation from the traveling food items.
The immediate nausea, gas, and burping strongly suggest that the outside food irritated your stomach or introduced a mild foodborne pathogen, disrupting your normal upper digestive functions.
Because you specifically noted eating cashews, an allergic reaction must be ruled out. While true anaphylaxis happens rapidly, a mild or evolving allergy to tree nuts can manifest as throat swelling, a feeling of throat blockage, swallowing difficulties, and oral/tongue irritation.
Take PPI. Plenty of water. This will relieve in 80% cases.

Heavy,oily,fried food are the causes of Heartburning.
Cashew is a very heavy fat dry fruit.
Due to regurgitation this is happening.
Avoid spicy,fatty, fried food
Add salads,fibrous fruits and vegetables in your diet
Drink plenty of water
Don't lie down after eating & eat slowly
Walk after eating
If not helped then
Take cap Pantop dsr - 1 cap - once daily - early morning empty stomach ×5 days
Tab Digene - 1 tab - if regurgitation is happening afterwards.
Take care,stay healthy.

Hello,
Your symptoms may be due to acid reflux (GERD), gastritis, or irritation of the throat. Acid reflux can cause nausea, burping, chest burning, and a feeling of mucus or something stuck in the throat. The red, painful tongue may be due to irritation, infection, or a nutritional deficiency.
My recommendations:
1. Eat small, frequent meals and avoid spicy, oily foods, excessive tea/coffee, and other foods that trigger your symptoms.
2. Drink adequate water and try warm salt-water gargles for throat discomfort.
3. Avoid lying down for 2–3 hours after meals and elevate the head of your bed if symptoms occur at night.
4. Consult a physician for an examination. Depending on the findings, treatment for acid reflux or further tests may be needed.
Medication safety: Do not start antibiotics, steroids, or multiple acidity medicines on your own. If you have difficulty swallowing liquids or saliva, feel that food is stuck, or develop breathing difficulty, seek emergency medical care immediately.
If symptoms persist, worsen, or keep recurring, arrange a follow-up rather than relying only on home remedies.

It may be all due to pharyngitis, and once you stop eating the free digestive acid inside your stomach causes irritation to stomach lining causes nausea and throat burn like sensation.

Hello,
Your symptoms of nausea, frequent burping, chest burning, and throat mucus may be associated with acid reflux (GERD), gastritis, or irritation of the food pipe.
However, difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) is an important warning symptom and should not be attributed to acidity alone.
The redness and pain of your tongue may indicate inflammation (glossitis), oral irritation, or infection.
Since these symptoms began after eating outside food and nuts, an allergic reaction is another possibility, particularly if throat tightness occurred immediately after eating.
Next Steps
Seek an in-person medical assessment, preferably with a general physician, ENT specialist, or gastroenterologist, particularly because of your swallowing difficulty. Depending on examination findings, your doctor may recommend an upper GI endoscopy or further evaluation of the throat and oesophagus. Eat soft, bland foods in small portions if you can swallow normally. Avoid spicy, oily, and acidic foods, caffeine, and lying down immediately after meals. Avoid cashews or other suspected food triggers until an allergic cause has been assessed.
Health Tips
Seek emergency medical attention immediately if you experience throat tightness, breathing difficulty, swelling of the lips or tongue, drooling, or inability to swallow liquids or saliva. These symptoms may indicate a serious allergic reaction or oesophageal obstruction. Avoid self-medicating or forcing food down when swallowing is difficult. Although reflux is a possible explanation, the swallowing difficulty requires prompt medical evaluation. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Reflux from the outside food is the most likely cause here. Acid or food residue moving back up can trigger that throat mucus, the blocked feeling, gas, burping and chest burn you're describing. The sore red tongue is probably a mild irritation from the cashews or the acidity itself, not a separate problem.
Next Steps
Avoid oily, spicy and nutty foods for now, eat smaller meals, and don't lie down right after eating. An antacid can help short term, but see a physician if the throat blockage or swallowing trouble continues.
Health Tips
Go in sooner if swallowing gets harder, you lose weight without trying, or you vomit blood.
