Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns. You recently swallowed something and this cause some irritation to your throat. The symptoms and physical findings you mention are not worrisome. i think you just irritated the back of your throat. I recommend using salt water gargles to sooth the back of the throat. You do no need to do any additional doctor visits or treatments. Your symptoms will resolve in the next day or two
