How To Treat Sore And Painful Throat?
I took a direct blow in the throat from a soccer ball and went to the ER, xrays showed nothing broken. My throat is still sore and hurts to swallow and the pain runs up into my ears. Should I follow up with an ENT or will it just take awhile for the pain to go away.

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The pain in the throat following trauma can be because of the impact. Nothing to be panic, you can take a course of analgesic like ibuprofen or diclofenac(if you are not allergic). If the pin is not subsiding, then consult an ENTsurgeon and get it evaluated. I hope I have answered your query. Take care.
