My husband has Huntingtons Disease I gave his fresh home made vegetable soup last night I warned him it was still to hot but he ate it and burnt his throat, it also got stuck whilst hot. He has a lot of choking and gagging always but this has caused a lot more problem and pain for him and he now seems unwell too

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your husband have symptoms of constant choking and gagging sensation with throat pain. Well there can be many reasons for choking like gastrointestinal reflux disease, tightening of cricopharyngeal muscle, fear and anxiety and presence of lump and muscle mass. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles several times a day and avoid heavy and spicy food specially at night and eat small and frequent meals.

You should consult ENT specialist for proper examination and doctor may order test like blood test, endoscopy and CT scan and may prescribe antibiotics course amoxicillin, anti inflammatory medications. You should get complete examination of any kind of lump and mass in throat area and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
