Hello,
thanks for using health care magic
It is less likely that the strawberry is still stuck in your gullet
else you will have more severe pains and or difficulty or inability
to swallow any thing be it water or solid.
It rather appears you sustained some injury in your gullet that
is causing the pain when you take in fluid or food.
You should take more of liquid food and some pain killers like
paracetamol or acetaminophen. Everything should be okay
within a few days.
Best regards and hope this helps you.
