Suggest Remedies For Severe Pain In Throat After Injury

Hello, I am troubled by a throat injury I sustained during a violent coughing fit while choking on a beverage. I felt as if something ripped in my throat. It is very swollen down to my wind pipe. I can barely speak can barely cough and am in discomfort. Is this a common throat injury or should I be worried? Will salt n warm water help?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

You are having posterior pharynx injury along with larynx inflammation.

You need to do saltwater gargles in warm water three times a day.

Drink lots of water and take only semisolid bland diet. Don't take spicy foods as it can cause more irritation.

To decrease inflammation of low dose steroid or anti-inflammatory medication can be prescribed.

I suggest you consult otorhinolaryngologist for posterior pharynx examination and get prescription accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
