If you're fighting-off a throat infection, there are lymph nodes at the back of your throat where white blood cells mature/form. The lymph nodes contain immune cells that can help fight infection by attacking and destroying germs that are carried in through the lymph fluid. Each lymph node filters the fluid and substances picked up by the vessels that lead to it.

If there's inflammation at the back of your throat or white patches, it means your immune system is hard at work fighting off an infection near your throat or nasal cavity. They will disappear on their own once your symptoms subside.

Prolonged inflammation will cause scarring called fibrosis, not these white patches. But if it's for 10 straight years, the underlying condition is more likely to kill you than the symptoms themselves.

Are you sure it's a case of globus hystericus? Do you every cough or have acid reflex?

I'm thinking of it being gastroesophageal reflux

There is no cough and very little acid reflex (no very often).
I would like to know on what fibrosis looks like in throat, do you have any image?

I took Lysozyme chloride tablet 60 mg for long time to reduce inflammation.

During sitting, there is no way to get acid reflex, but I still feel stress on my throat until switching focus and relax throat muscle.

Do you have any suggestions?

Does people get any feeling for gastroesophageal reflux?

After meal, would lying on bed be easier to get gastroesophageal reflux?

The reason I say it is GERD is because this happened to my father in the past, and it would happen for several months straight during the colder, drier months. The only way he'd feel relief is my coughing, and sometimes he'd cough a lot because of the acidity.

Do you ever feel a sour taste at the back of your throat?

I don't taste anything sour at the back of throat at this moment.

The source of sour taste should come from stomach acid, correct?

Has your father check Helicobacter pylori test?

Do your father smoking?

Do you find the main cause on your father's case?

-----------------------------------------------------------
I don't smoke

I see doctor today and arrange 2 different specialists for further checking, I ready want to know the root cause.

Check Tonsils or Throat inflammation

Check Helicobacter pylori (having stomach gas over a long period of time)

Do you have any suggestions on what other aspects should be checked?

It may also be a stone formed within your tonsil



My dad's condition never got solved other than it went away on its own. It usually comes back every fall, once it starts to get colder, then subsides by March. Luckily this year it didn't happen at all.

He attributes it too eating too many acidic foods, because he feels sourness at the back of his throat. Inflammation from acid may cause globus pharyngeus. GERD can also cause muscle spasms that trigger feelings of an object caught in the throat.

What I would suggest is you try an antacid for a couple of days and see how that makes you feel. Do take medication that the doctor subscribes without researching what it does and how it does it/

Antacid seems not suitable to my case, since I don't feel sour at the back of throat.  For your father's case, do you find on what main source cause sour taste at the back of throat?

I would go on following directions for finding the root cause.

1) Check any bacteria or virus causing Tonsils or Throat inflammation

2) Check throat inflammation caused by stomach acid
    a) Eating too fast
    b) Helicobacter pylori
    c) Other

Do you have any suggestions?

We never got to the bottom of it, but he feels it was due to gastric acids flowing into his pharynx. He never used antacids, but I'm making this suggestion for you just to see how you react to it. He felt the sourness when he coughed very hard, so it wasn't always present.

1) Check any bacteria or virus causing Tonsils or Throat inflammation

If you had a bacteria infection in the stomach, you'd feel the pain physically. Similarly, throat infections are easy to distinguish, they normally subside within a week. Sometimes throat infections lead to tonsil stones that are lodged into it; this happens when white blood cells are sent to an area of infection, they leave microscopic calcifications behind that, over time, may lead to tonsil stones.

2) Check throat inflammation caused by stomach acid
    a) Eating too fast
    b) Helicobacter pylori
    c) Other

(a) Unlikely
(b) Unlikely
(c) Yes

A doctor should be able to provide you with better advice because they know your medical history, your physical condition and perform blood tests if required. Please update us when you hear from your doctor.
