Something feels stuck in my throat, and I can't clear it (Globus Sensation).

This is globus pharyngis, a symptom caused by stomach acid reflux irritating the pharynx and larynx.

목에 이물감이 느껴지는 매핵기(梅核氣)는 역류성 식도염의 대표적인 증상입니다. 위산이 식도를 넘어 인후두까지 역류하여 점막을 자극하면 염증과 부종이 생겨 답답함을 느끼게 됩니다.

  • 증상 특징: 침을 삼켜도 넘어가지 않고 뱉어도 나오지 않음
  • 원인: 위산 역류로 인한 인후두 점막의 만성 염증 및 신경 과민
  • 치료: 이비인후과 치료로 호전되지 않는다면 위장 치료가 필요함
🌿 한방 치료

반하후박탕 등 기운을 소통시키고 담을 삭이는 처방이 효과적입니다.
