Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Frequent Choking And Throat Pain Post A Cervical Fusion Surgery?
I had a anterior cervical fusion in 2008- with a plate and screws. About a year ago I started get choked more easily and in the last few months I am having throat pain all the time unrelated to a cold in addition to more frequent choking. Could it be from the scar tissue ?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, it is the throat related symptoms and may not be the old history of cervical disease or surgery but it might be due to GERD ( Gastroesophegus Reflux Disease ) on tentative basis the condition can be managed with Tab Omeprazole 40 mg once in day, if the symptom doe not improved then may need endoscopy hope this information helps.
