My throat feels swollen. I can feel it every time I try to swallow. No pain just thick. I get strep 2 to 4 times a year. I had rheumatic fever when I was 5. I am now 55. My mom, brother and daughter all have a thyroid problem and are on medication. I have had a thyroid blood test and it was normal.
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query. The swelling in the throat can be because of the bacterial infection. Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
