Suggest Remedy For Throat Problem
I played a rugby game today and took an elbow to my throat. It is a little swollen and hurts on both sides of my neck but there is a popping sensation when I swallow on the left side of my neck. Should I be concerned or is it just a bruise. It is also really sore to swallow and I am not sick

For that you may require complete hemogram, throat swab after ENT consultation.
Continue saline or betadine gargles twice a day.
You may require antibiotics after consultation.
Take hygienic food and water.
Maintain proper hygiene
