Hello ,

Thanks for consulting HCM

I have read your query . As far as discomfort and choking in throat is concerned this can be due to strep throat . For this I will suggest you to consult Ent surgeon for clinical examination and treatment . Inmeantime do warm saline gargle 2 to 3 times a day and you can take medication like Azithromycin with Allegra by consulting with local doctor .

Hope this will help you .
