Question
I had a cold before, and I got something stuck in my throat after taking medication too quickly a few days ago. It’s been sticking occasionally since then, and my throat has been painful. I’ve been taking antibiotics for a few days. Today, when I was eating chicken, something felt like a thorn got stuck, it didn’t affect my diet much, but I have a slight pain on the left side? I’m also worried that it might be due to psychological reasons. I can only make an appointment at the hospital for the day after tomorrow. Should I delay two days to see a doctor for a throat examination, and will there be any major problems in the next few days?
Answer
It’s best to have a throat examination in this situation. For the next few days, consume liquid foods and drink plenty of hot water. You can also take oral antibiotics for a few days; cephalosporins would be suitable. You can temporarily stick to liquid foods. Avoid cold drinks and stimulating food (spicy foods), and don’t eat fish or other foods with bones, drink plenty of hot water, and it’s best to take oral antibiotics for the next couple of days. I hope this helps you, and wish you good health!
