Suggest Treatment For Throat Pain

I am 41 female as of yesterday having pain in in throat area. Haven t had this sort of thing before. Waves of pain are comming and going with and without swallowing, although swallowing is painful now and feel like there is an obstruction. Last hour have burped a few times and which followed by waves of pain (throbbing) then goes. When I push my windpipe on neck area there is pain. I am feeling tense in the neck are and down my spine between should blades. Im really worried, what s wrong with me? It really hurts if I put my head back and swallow.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of throat pain which is leading to sore throat due to bacterial or viral infection. It is leading to upper respiratory tract infection. It could be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. Milk boiled with a pinch of turmeric taken at bedtime for can be relieving as it has antimicrobial properties. You should avoid spicy food. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozenges one every 4 hours is helpful. Drink lukewarm water throughout the day as it can provide relief.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
