How To Treat Blockage Of Throat?

Hallo! This morning I woke up feeling as though a cold might be coming on due to a sensation of blockage in my throat. When I stuck a finger down my throat, I could feel a small fleshy growth, more like a flap than a bump, on the left side. Possible range of causes?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of blockage of throat which seems to be due to tonsils infection/upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry. You should take proper course of antibiotic Ciprofloxacin along with anti-inflammatory medications. Avoid intake of hot, spicy and sharp food. Avoid cold beverages and take small meals at a time. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. You should maintain oral hygiene. Do warm saline gargles.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
