Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swallowing after being kicked on throat and difficulty in swelling . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like soft tissue injury , fractured larynx or inflammation due to blow . I would suggest you to not to eat or drink as it can go in food pipe , do not lay down , stay calm and try to speak less . Consult general surgeon without any delay . Doctor may order CT scan , X-ray an physical examination . Doctor may treat with a Tracheostomy to allow breathing or prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory . For now apply ice pack gently .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
