Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query throat blockage with mucus due to food due to granular pharyngitis or upper respiratory tract infection. The symptoms can also occur due to post nasal drip or tonsillitis . I would suggest you to avoid eating and drinking acidic , spicy and hot food and beverages .
Do warm saline gargles . If condition doesn't get better in 2-3 days then consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and go for swab test. Go for sputum test as well if required and start treatment as per proper diagnosis. Sip warm water after every few minutes.
Doctor may also examine with laryngoscope to rule out any foreign substance of food particle . Doctor may remove if there is anything surgically under local anesthesia . Take steam twice a day .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
