What Causes Choking Sensation In Throat And Voice Hoarseness After Eating?

Hi yesterday I swallowed a piece of food/candy and felt something get stuck in my throat. My voice went quiet for a little while before going back to normal after drinking a large drink, vomiting and then having another drink. It s a day later and it still feels like something is sitting there. I can eat fine, drink fine and breathe fine. What could it be?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of choking sensation in throat and voice hoarseness after eating which are pointing towards upper respiratory tract infection , which can be caused by bacterial or viral infection. It could be due to laryngitis which leads to inflammation of vocal cards. For now continue doing gargles and drink one spoon of honey mix with glass of lukewarm water. You should take steam inhalation along with vaporizers. Avoid hot, sharp , spicy food. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order test like viral culture test , throat swab test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis and rule out causes. you should go for get laryngoscopy as well. Doctor may prescribe antibacterial amoxicillin or anti viral acyclovir depending upon the diagnosis along with decongestants.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
