Suggest Treatment For Throat Discomfort After Choking On Food
Hi. The other day we were eating pastries and laughing. I probably aspired some food particles and coughed quite a bit. It felt as if a bit of food had been aspired but could not be coughed up. After a while I started to feel better. Now one day later my throat around the adam s apple feels swollen, as if the upper respiratory tract were infected. It feels increasingly uncomfortable. Is this something I should ride out over the next couple of days or shall I have a doctor look into this? Thanks!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. It may develop into Tracheitis, Pharyngitis and also may result in aspiration pneumonia. It is better that you consult your physician as early as possible to get appropriate treatment after endoscopy investigation. Rinse your mouth and throat with lukewarm salt water as often as possible it may give you temporary relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
