After The Removal Of PICC Line Removed Experiencing Discomfort In Throat
I have had my PICC line removed over a month ago. About the second day I started experiencing the feeling of having something lodged in my throat. I usually swallow hard to get this kind of feeling to go away and the food to pass down my esophogus but I this isn t working.
Hello Welcome to HCM, thanks for posting your query. Sorry to hear your condition. PICC line if kept for a long time may produce such symptoms sir. We have seen so many patients who complaint something similar to the you are experiencing. It's a common problem. But not something to worry about. Time will heal and definitely this will be done in some days to go. So I suggest that you stop worrying and try to forget this problem. Yes, you can gargle with Luke warm water with some salt added if the problem is intolerable. This will reduce the oedema and will help you to combat the problem. Lastly, as I've already told. Do not worry. Take care. In case you need any further information, feel free to contact me.
