Suggest Medication For Discomfort In Throat After Swallowing Hot Potato
A day after swallowing hot potato, my throat seemed to have been burned and swallowing became an irritation. Nearly two weeks later little improvement is noted. Sometimes feels like the potato is somehow imbedded in throat. I eat OK but any swallowing causes discomfort. Suggestions?
