What To Do For The Sore Throat?

I have had a sore throat for one day, I took some neurofen just now to ease the pain but then felt as if the tablets were caught in my throat, when I feel down the back of my throat there is what feels like a loose flap of skin, it doesn t hurt but I can feel it when I swallow. What could it be?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history of having sorethroatfor one day; you too the tablet Neurofen which you are feeling as if stuck in the throat.
The cause of such an feeling can be due to the following reason:
- Actual swelling of the throat.
- Feeling only as if something is stuck.
- Possible injury due to overzealous try by finger causing actual injury.

I would advise the following;
Get an opinion of an ENT if possible to get a clinical evaluation and examination by an endoscopy to see what exactly has happened.
The treatment will be continued as advised by your Doctor with additional medicines like anti-inflammatory and steroid if required.
This way all you problems will be solved.
