During the winter season, people often suffer from the problem of cough. There is pressure and a feeling of fullness in the chest sometimes. This is the result of mucus filling. Scratching helps a little in getting it out. Sometimes this also happens due to acid reflux. But often if you feel something stuck in your throat, do not ignore it at all. This can also be a sign of growth of cancer cells in the food pipe.

It is very important to control it in time because it can increase the risk of esophageal cancer.
