Suggest Treatment For Painful Throat
Hi, I believe I scraped my throat the other day while eating and the scrape has gotten more and more painful as the days progress. Every time I breathe, swallow, yawn, move my tongue etc. I can feel a stinging pain in my throat. It hurts especially when I wake up from sleep. Any tips on how to relieve pain, heal the scrape?

Hi, thanks for your query.
As you have hurt your throat while eating, do not worry it will heal on its own ,but takes at least to 7 days.
You can take anti inflammatory medicines like paracetamol + diclofenac combination drugs, for 3 to 5 days.
Do Betadine gargling twice daily.
Avoid spicy and hot foods.
Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
