Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
The clogged sensation in your throat is due to an allergic reaction commonly referred to as post-nasal drip. You need to take some antiallergic like cetirizine once daily for a few days. Alongside you also need to gurgle with lukewarm water. Take steam inhalation as well.
No other medicine needs to be taken and usually things return back to normal in a week's time.
Let me know if you have any further queries and I would be glad to help.
