What Causes Irritation And Scratchy Feeling Inside The Throat?

My throat has been feeling like I have a hair or something in it for a couple of weeks, I have no tonsils, and now it is sore and scratchy in the back of my throat and feels like I swallowing a sharp potato chip or something. I also have three very small blisters, two where my tonsils were and one in the very back of my throat. What could it be?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of irritation and scratchy feeling inside the throat which is because of infection of upper respiratory tract leading to granular pharyngitis.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to try home based ingredients i.e you should take ginger and honey to soothe your throat.

- Avoid eating spicy and heavy food.

- Do warm saline gargles several times a day.

- Milk boiled with a pinch of turmeric take will be helpful.

- Take combination of levocetirizine along with amoxicillin for 3-5 days.

Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should go for blood and sputum test.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
