Suggest Treatment For Pain In Throat While Swallowing

Last night a piece of chicken bone, from a wishbone in what was supposed to be a deboned chicken breast, got stuck in my throat and I could not breathe. My husband did the heimlich and it actually went lower down my oesophagus and pierced it. After about 2 minutes and trying not to panic i put my finger down my throat to induce vomiting whilst my husband did the heimlich maneuver, and it came out. With a LOT of blood. Woke up this morning and I am in absolute agony. Hurts to breathe even. Swallowing is horrid and every now and again I get waves of sharp pain. Not sure what to do?

Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your query it seems that the chicken bone which accidently got stuck in your throat while moving down has lacerated your throat leading to formation of a wound and bleeding due to torn blood vessels..

This is what causing you pain and soreness even during breathing...

I would suggest you to see an ENT specialist and get your throat evaluated..

If it is because of trauma taking painkiller like Ibuprofen can help you relieving pain and inflammation .
You can take a course of antibiotics to prevent any bacterial or viral infection to proliferate in the open wound..
Take soft and cold diet..
Avoid taking spicy and hot food..
Dont try to put pressure on your throat trying to vomit..
Taking luke warm milk with turmeric dissolved in it can help you heal faster and it has antiseptic properties too..

But medical assistance is must..

Hope you get well soon..

Thanks and regards..
