Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query have symptoms of discomfort in throat after having food which seems to be due to damage of cilia and leads to severe throat pain and dryness in throat.

I would suggest you to do gargling with silver hydrosol will help you alot. Keep yourself rehydrated with plenty of water and fluids. You should take antibiotics such as Augmentin for 5 days. Do warm saline gargles on daily basis. Use betadine rinses to clear throat. Avoid taking sharp, spicy food and extreme cold substances. Visit ENT specialist once if it keeps on hurting and go for laryngoscopy to examine inner mucosa.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
