Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lodging of a foreign body in throat which seems to be act as foreign body there and leads to accumulation of bacteria and microorganisms and spread infection. Need not to worry , the symptoms can occur due to psychological reasons also. I would suggest you to do warm saline rinses several times a day. Take ibuprofen and proper course of antibiotics. Consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may opt fiber optic scan examination done to find out exact location of obstruction and start treatment accordingly. Doctor may extract that thing with small instrument under local anesthesia ( laryngoscopy procedure ) . Also eat 1-2 banana in a day .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
