Suggest Treatment Difficulty While Swallowing

my daughter, age 8, has difficulty swallowing and not eating or drinking for 4 days. We went to ER twice already. No Strepp, no fever, feels like something is caught in her throat. Gets worse at night. Trying to get Gatorade down the best I can. Help?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated.

We have to rule out possibilities like a lump or swelling in the throat.

As of now, you can do warm saline gargles for symptomatic relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
General & Family Physician
