Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Throat While Swallowing

hi. I ate snapper fish on Tuesday and when I was swallowing a bite I felt like a bone scraped the back of my throat on the right side so I didn t swallow and bring the food back up. the next evening I felt my throat hurt as I swallowed. Since Wednesday evening, it hurts when I swallow and sometimes I feel the pain down the side of my neck and it hurt now when I swallow my saliva more than how it did on Wednesday when. When I am eating a meal it doesn t hurt.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that the fish bone has caused laceration to your throat mucosa leading to inflammation and it is causing pain while swallowing..
As the fish bone has been taken out of throat by not swallowing it, therefore there seems only inflammation caused due to injury to the mucosa and will resolve gradually..
You can start gargling with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine, especially before meals so that there is less of discomfort during swallowing..
You can take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen..
Drink plenty of cool water..
You should take soft diet and avoid, hot, spicy and hard foods..
Suck ice pops..
In case of no improvement consult an ENT expert and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
