What Causes Pain In The Throat While Swallowing?

Routine medication will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. The repeated handling of the tonsil area while removing the tonsilloliths can lead to a sore throat.
2. A short course (3-5 days) of routine medication such as a broad spectrum antibiotic (such as amoxycillin + clavulanic acid 625 mg twice a day), an anti-allergic (such as cetirizine or fexofenadine once a day), an anti-inflammatory medication (such as paracetamol, ibuprofen twice a day after meaks) and a medicated oral rinse (such as Betadine gargles) will settle this down.
3. The clicking sounds while swallowing are due to the normal movements of muscles, tendons, cartilages.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
Regards.


There is no cause for worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for writing back.
1. The clicking sounds are normal.
2. Behind the tonsil area is a complex set of bones, muscle, tendons, cartilages (including those attached to the Eustachian tube , which connects the ear to the nose). Hence, hearing these sounds is common and does not interfere with function.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
Regards.


Wishing you a speedy recovery.

The sounds will decrease in time.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for writing back.
1. The clicking sounds will decrease as the infection and inflammation in the area reduces with treatment.
2. This is in addition to the natural healing process.
3. These clicking sounds, however slight, at times are usually heard by normal people if they concentrate on these sounds.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
