Brief Answer: Try salt water gargling... Detailed Answer: Hi, Vomitus that contain undigested food particles, bile secretions and acid is known to irritate throat and food pipe lining. This irritation coupled by straining during forceful vomiting results in pain / soreness, a constricted feeling, heart burns and so on. Though the described symptoms are uncomfortable sensations, it is not unexpected to have them following a forceful bout of vomiting. So do not be very concerned. Rarely forceful vomiting injures food pipe / lower throat structures, but those injuries often present with bloody vomiting. You might also have dizziness and loss of consciousness if you are bleeding. You don't seem to have such issues. I would start you on proton pump inhibitors (PPI) along with XXXXXXX warm saline water gargles for the current problem. You should be able to get prilosec OTC tablets over the counter. It is a PPI which you can take twice a day for 3-5 days. Avoid spicy food and beverages. Throat lozenges can be taken for additional benefits. Hope this helps. Regards
