Hi Jacqui.

The duct that is ‘blocked’ sometimes is the one under my tongue, one of those two little holes from which saliva enters your mouth.

What you describe sounds a bit different though? It sounds a bit more painful and, importantly, I do not recognise that it is ‘sliding down your throat to the middle of your chest’.

Did the doctor prescribe you that anti-allergy medication?

I have been looking up everything related to my problem and so far this is the closest. But I feel like whatever it is, it’s slowly sliding down my throat and in the middle of my chest. I have pain in my side and i keep feeling like im gona throw up but its just alot of slivia. slimy like snot sounds gross but thats what it looks like.
I have taken meds for allergies cus i thought it was fish. but now its back and i havent eatn fish in months. if i have what you described where is this duct in my mouth?? thanks for the info it really eased my mind.

Thank you so much for write this article. I have been having this problem since I was 13, now I am 24. I am glad to know that it has something to do with my saliva glands. Also, now I know why my mouth always feels dry. I remember the first time I notice I had this problem. I thought there was a piece of peanut lodge in my throat. I used a straw to get it out and was amazed and startle at this huge mass of plaque or whatever it is shoot out of my throat. It was the size of a nickel. I don’t get much swelling like I used to, but I know that it is in there because my breath starts to smell and I get this nasty taste in my mouth. I am have one at the moment. I tried to dislodge it, but I have to wait until it appears from behind the skin. Thank you again for passing on this information.

Yeh I know how it feels when one reads that somebody else has the same “weird” thing as oneself has… I’ve had it so many times now that I sometimes “sense” it coming… something about the way that swallowing feels…

Anyway, whenever I think it’s coming again, and even though I could be wrong, I always quickly grab some orange-juice, the real acidy-kind, which increases saliva production…. (I guess certain sweets could suffice as well) which usually seems to help prevent any blockage.

Plus side is, I drink a lot more orange-juice
