Throat discomfort for 2 weeks already please help?

Question

it has been 2 weeks already since i have this discomfort. It feels like something is stuck in my throat, but not irritating though just a discomfort. it started when we had fish 2 weeks ago and i felt that i swallowed a nasty fish bone. my partner said that maybe my tonsils were just scratch and it will heal in time but 2 weeks has passed and i can still feel the discomfort. I have been gargling salt solution morning and evening and lozanges within the day. how long does a tonsil scratch heal? should i see an ENT now?

Answer 1

You might want to consult an ENT Doctor for that.  2 weeks is a bit too much for waiting.  I've had tonsillopharyngitis couple of months ago which actually started with a regular tonsillitis , I was hospitalized for 2 weeks by the way.  Fish bone can be a very possible cause but please know that oral bacteria can worsen the case, that's what my Doctor told me.

Answer 2

If saline solution is not working then consult a doctor; you probably have an infection.
