Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of feeling of something stuck in the throat which seems to be mainly due to gastroesophageal reflux disease, bacterial infection, tonsils infection and poor oral hygiene leading to strep throat. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline rinses several times a day. Take ibuprofen and proper course of antibiotics. Avoid hot sharp and spicy food substances. You should take anti inflammatory medications such as levocetirizine. avoid spicy food and cold carbonated liquids. Consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may order blood test or throat swab test to confirm the diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe broad spectrum antibiotics like amoxicillin for at least two weeks .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
