Suggest Treatment For Tenderness And Pain In The Ear
Hello I was cleaning my teeth with a toothpick and somehow I think a splinter or two is stuck in my throat it seems to feel like its on the left side along my jaw line into my throat/gland and my ear hurts and are tender. I can swallow fine with no pain and breathe, but it feels like its there and irritated,especially if I lean forward or open my mouth. I tried eating bread and did the warm salt gargle rinse I just got and egd/colonoscopy and dread the process again and am very upset and anxious.

You have to visit ent specialist and find the exact location of foreign body. If need be CT scan xray can be advised. A FB needs to be removed. In the meantime start on Mucaine gel syp 2 spoons twice a day at least for 3 - 5 days and let me know the result
