My girlfriend had a neck surgery three years ago, in which, she was given dissolvable, and non-dissolvable stitches in her throat. As of late, she has been frequently bothered physically, at times to the point of choking, and believes it is the stitches. To me, as well, it would seem the most likely culprit for the problem. Is there anything we can do at home? Or is there no choice but go see a doctor? Thank you for your time.
