Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You have a sore throat along with discomfort at the back of the tongue with a feeling of something struck at the back of the tongue. This can be due to swollen tongue papillae, sore throat, throat infection and inflammation.

So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get checked. For now, you can do warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash gargles. You can drink lemon tea with honey for relief and suck Cepacol lozenges. If needed doctor can advise you throat swab culture and a course of antibiotics for relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
