Suggest Treatment For Soreness And Inflammation In Throat Due To The Trauma
Question: Hi,
Last month, I was playing football and my friend twisted my throat with his hands. For 15 days after that I had pain while swallowing on the right side of throat. (Pain only while swallowing with empty mouth) No pain while swallowing food or water. That pain subsided now. But whenever I swallow now, I feel that the muscles on the right side of my throat are doing all the work and somehow, I feel my throat has bent sideways. How can I get this treated.

Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
You are simply having some soreness and inflammation of muscles due to the trauma.
Such type of muscle inflammation and soreness takes about 3-4 weeks to go.
If you are still experiencing some pain you may take ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day for few days more.
In case there is no pain,you may do only local hot FOMENTATION twice a day for 5-7 days.You shall be all right gradually.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
