Suggest Remedy For Irritation And Slight Pain In Throat While Swallowing

About three days it became really hard for me to swallow. I can swallow but I have to take a big gulb but then just above my 'Adams apple' I have this slight pain, which irritates when I swallow. I don't or havnt had a sore throat, I haven't been coughing or anything like that, so I'm not sure what it is. Any help?

Hi Welcome to Health Care Magic
As per your query, here are some home remedies for slight pain in throat while swallowing.
1.Saltwater gargle- gargling several times a day with warm salt water can reduce swelling in the throat and loosen mucus, helping to flush out irritants or bacteria.Dissolve half a teaspoon of salt in one cup of water. Just remember to spit the water out after gargling, rather than swallowing.
2.Anti-inflammatory medicine like acetaminophen helps to reduce pain & swelling.
3.Sucking on cough drops increase saliva production hence moistening the throat
Consult a ENT specialist if problem persist.

Hoping your query is solved
