Suggest Treatment For Throat Discomfort After Meal
Hello doctor I ve been having a mild poking sensation at the back of the throat which becomes especially noticeable after a meal. Have never had a similar feeling before even during throat infections and so was puzzled. This has been going on for 3-4 days but doesn t bother me otherwise. Thanks in advance for ur help

Hi,
Since your symptoms are since 4 days it doesn't look serious, throat irritation can be caused by many factors, most common being post nasal drip due to cold, pharyngitis, gastroesophageal reflux etc, to name a few, if you are not experiencing any other symptoms then I suggest you to do just salt water gargle(water should be lukewarm) after feeds and drink plenty of fluids, take care.
