But still some time I feel something stuck in my throat and I feel uneasy. This happens once a while and mostly when i bend my face down i feel something itching at backside of my throat. Can you please help me with next steps.

Brief Answer:
Gargling will help

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.

Your throat infection is in the clearing up stage. That is why you are experiencing as if something is stuck. It will clear up in a day or two by itself and does not need treatment.

You can try gargling to clear up any remaining mucus.

If it does not clear up in two days you can try ambroxol syrup to help clear it up.

Hope it helps.
