What Does Discomfort In The Throat While Swallowing Indicate?
Hi. I have had this uncomfortable feeling in my neck/throat since yesterday afternoon. It feels like I swallowed a rock and it s just stuck there. Not really painful, but is bothering me. Ant ideas or suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Thank you.
As per your query, you have symptoms of discomfort in the throat while swallowing viral pharyngitis and could be due to thyroid hormonal imbalance.
I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist as well as endocrinologist once and get blood tests and hormonal levels monitored such as T3, T4 and thyroxine. You can be advised a course of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory painkiller medicines like Ibuprofen, Mucolytics like Ambroxol.
You should drink plenty of water, you can also do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Avoid spicy and chilled foods and take more of fluids and a semisolid diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
