What Causes Pain In Throat While Swallowing Food?

I ate a fish called tilapia in filipino last thursday and swalowed it's scale (s). I din't mind it 'cause i have not felt any pain not until yesterday at 6 pm while eating my dinner. I suddenly had a hard time in swalowing food. I took a banana followed by water but when I swalowed it still hurt. This morning the pain is stillthere so i gurgle with wam water with salt but to no avail. The pain it seems when I swalowed is coming from inside my throat down on the right side.

Hi, thanks for your query.
There are 2 reasons for your throat pain.
1. Fish bone stuck in throat.
2.throat ininfection.
Fish bone stuck in throat needs to be examined and removed by the specialist. You can't remove it on your own or no home remedy for it.
Throat infection is treated with penicillin antibiotics + anti inflammatory medicines.
All these are prescription medicines, so do consult with your doctor and get treated. Thanks.
