👉 Throatiness refers to a strong, deep, and persistent taste or odor that can be associated with various conditions such as acid reflux disease, GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), or certain types of cancer. It is often described as an unpleasant sensation in the throat or tongue, which may also include mucus, sputum, or blood. These symptoms can make it difficult to eat and drink properly, especially if they persist for a long time.
