Hi,

Feeling of something struck in throat even after drinking enough water could be due to mucosal injury which causes raw wound in food pipe. It takes about 3 days to overcome such symptoms.

However, in the meantime, take multivitamin capsules once a day and medicated lozanges.

If the symptoms continues to persist even after 2 days, you may need an upper GI endoscopy. You need to consult Surgeon for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ashakiran S, General & Family Physician
