Pain In Throat After Choking On Piece Of Food. Treatment?

What is the best treatment plan for severe pain in my throat after choking on a piece of food about 5 hours ago? I tried to drink and get the fluid to wash the stuck food down to no avail. tried to make myself vomit a few times which also did not work. Husband drove me to urgent care clinic and on the way i kept trying to drink to get it softer and go down. just as we got to parking lot about 30 minutes after i first choked i took a big gulp of tea and it went down. we returned home and now hours later it still hurts really bad and feels like it may be scratched.
