Does The Choking Be Due To The Stitches In The Neck?
My girlfriend had a neck surgery three years ago, in which, she was given dissolvable, and non-dissolvable stitches in her throat. As of late, she has been frequently bothered physically, at times to the point of choking, and believes it is the stitches. To me, as well, it would seem the most likely culprit for the problem. Is there anything we can do at home? Or is there no choice but go see a doctor? Thank you for your time.

Hello,
According to me internal stitches are absorbable and cannot cause any kind of chocking sensation in throat after 3 three years of surgery. Its better you take her and get investigated for her problem to a doctor.
hope my advice helps you.
