You would require pain reliever...

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting the query

After going through the history I do understand that there could be swelling inside the throat causing the discomfort and pain.

My suggestion to you is to try taking OTC pain reliever such as diclofenac or ibuprofen (which ever is available). Drink plenty of warm water. Avoid chilled food and beverages.

It is hard to assess this concern without a physical examination, but I don't foresee a serious problem. However if the symptoms persist, consult your doctor for a complete examination of the larynx.

Recovery assessment is possible once we are able to examine and assess this injury.

Hope I have answered your query; I'll be available for the follow up queries.
