Hello,

Thanks for posting on HCM,

I believe you require further medical evaluation given that the pain you are experiencing is internal (within the throat). This could indirectly interpret as throat trauma and with such accidents we can hardly be too sure of what might be going deep inside unless we run some test. I suggest you see an ENT for this, so extensive medical evaluation can be done (this is especially for your own security in case an internal injury that is progressive exist).

Hope this helps
