Suggest Remedy For A Scratchy Feeling In The Throat
Hi, I had a very small fish bone stuck in the back of my throat and I tried to swallow it down with a lot of rice and bread. It seemed to have work (I don t feel that sharp prickly pain anymore) but why does my throat still feel scratchy? Should I be worried? Should I go to the Doctor? Thanks

Hello & welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
Your clinical history is suggestive of erosion to mucosa of throat due fish bone causing scratchy feeling.
If I were your treating doctor, I would advice you
Antiseptic chlorhexidine Mouth Wash twice daily ,
Plenty of fluids &
Vitamin C.
No need to worry .
Certainly above treatment will give you much relief but if relief is not upto satisfaction level then consultation with your ENT doctor will become essential.
Thanks.
