Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding something is struck in your throat but still you may swallow and take normal breath.

As you said that after taking ginger in boiling water you felt more problem it suggest that there is some infective pathology going on in your throat.

Your story of illness suggest that some infective pathology is going on as pharyngitis and foreign body in throat is less likely but this controversy may be solved by a thorough examination of throat by your ENT doctor.

To get relief you may take-

1- Antibiotic.

2- Anti inflammatory.

3- Steam inhalation.

4- Antacid with PPI.

I hope this will solve your problem.

Regards.
