Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have foreign substance in the throat orange string like which seems to be act as foreign body there and leads to accumulation of bacteria and microorganisms and spread infection. Need not to worry , the symptoms can occur due to psychological reasons also. I would suggest you to do warm saline rinses several times a day and eat one or two bananas . Take ibuprofen and proper course of antibiotics. Consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may opt fiber optic scan examination done to find out exact location of obstruction and start treatment accordingly. Doctor may also examine with laryngoscope .Doctor may extract that thing with small instrument under local anesthesia . For now try to have liquid diet and keep your head elevated while laying down.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
