Throat Muscles Irritated Because Of Throwing Up

I have been sick since last monday which started off as a stomach flu , i was throwing up everything i intook for 3-4 days. By friday my stomach felt better and i was able to hold down food. By friday night my throat began to irritate, I just assumed it was my throat muscles being irritated from days of throwing up. Saturday and Sunday I was unable to speak because the irritation spread from the back of my throat all the way down my neck. Today I can talk but my throat is still sore and i have started to see the inflation through my skin. I plan on going to a walk-in tomorrow morning. Should I treat this with a little more urgency because it has swollen a large section of my throat to the right of my adam s apple upward but condensed where i believe the jugular is? Or i could be wrong and the jugular is on the left side? Also to add todays sypmtoms, i ve had liquid bio today and constant hot and cold flashes.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
hello there!
thank you for asking.
Throwing up has acid in it and it irritates the throat area. the waldyer ring and all the three group of tonsils. They get inflammed in response and presents with all these symptoms you mentioned.
All you need is some Aspirin Gargles to treat the inflammation. Diet modifications avoiding cold and sour things.
If the problem persist a little morning dose of prednisone for a few days would help to relieve the inflammation.
If you are febrile then start Amoxil 500 mg twice a day for 5 days minimum.

Hope these things will relieve. If the problem persist see the nearby otorhinolaryngologist for better assessment.

Hope it helps

Regards
