Suggest Treatment For Throat Injury During Food Ingestion
Hi, I'm a college freshman and as weird as this sounds, I had a piece of pizza and the crust was a little hard, and I chewed it and swallowed too fast, having a sharp edge of the crust cut the back of my throat. This happened on this past Friday, and it seems to not be getting any better unless I take some advil. Should I continue to wait it out? does it take longer than 4 days to heal?

in my opinion the injury to mucosa during eating will end up in ulcers and that is very painful during swallowing. it will take time to heal, I would recommend you to take palliative treatment till then , local anaesthetic solution will help you to lessen pain during eating. vitamin B complex and folic acid and Vit C will help you with healing fast.
