Swelling In Throat, Ate Spicy Food All The Time. Reduced Swelling But No Lower Range While Singing. Why ?

I eat spicy food all the time. I ate chips with hot sauce three days ago. As I ate I felt my throat swell. i stopped eating and my throat continued to swell. I m thin but my face looks like I m huge. I have no other symptoms. The swelling has gone down a bit on the sides but in the middle of my throat it s still swollen. .Also, whenI sing I have no lower octave range.

Hi thanks for your question.
You have developed pharyngitis(infection of pharynx) following intake of spicy food.
You have stopped taken spicy food and you have some relief, but actually infection is still there and unless it is fully treated, you will feel some discomfort.
You need a course of antibiotic, anti histaminic and anti inflammatory drugs that will cure your pharyngitis completely and you will be symptoms free.
Hope this answer your question.
