Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that it has created a scratch on the throat, in the which is showing the irritation in some deeds.
Avoid taking cool things like ice water, ice cream, fruits and juices.
I advise you to consult an E.N.T.surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms cifixime, phenylephrine , and paracetamol, and levocitrizine. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
