Hello
You had Stiches? had any trauma?
You can see an ENT specialist to get your self examined and get done a Flexible Laryngoscopy to rule out any trauma in throat.
You might have had a Chest Xray if not get it done.
Do you have reflux disease, if yes then need to treat it.
If there is no evidence of trauma to neck then you can take antibiotic after discussing with you ENT specialist .
