What Causes Feeling Of Blocked Throat Post Dental Work?

Hi I feel like I swallowed my pill wrong and it has been feeling like that for awhile since I got my teeth done 5 weeks ago and I tried to take three of my pills at the same time when I got my teeth down and they got stuck in my throat and I tried cough them up and then I swallowed them again and it still feels like they are still there I don't know if I swallowed them wrong

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have feeling of blocked throat post dental work which can happen many a times which could be due to irritation from hard substances, post nasal drip and improper hygiene . Need not to worry about it. You should do warm saline gargles, continue your medication. Drink plenty of fluids to maintain hydration and avoid any spicy or hard foods. you should wait for a period of 3 to 4 days and if still you do not find any improvement you should consult an ENT surgeon and get investigated for the cause of the blocked feel and get treated accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
