Does It Feel Worse Than It Is?!

[Scarlett]

Earlier on I was eating, and I ate a hair at the same time. In a bid to hoik it up, I think I've scratched the back of my throat- it feels swollen and like something is stuck there. I've had some ice cream to take the sensation away, but it's now back. I've also had a Piriton incase it was swelling. Anything else I can do other than wait? It's particularly noticeable if I put my head down, and it feels like it's closing up. Thanks! It's helpful to get opinions on here to save me bothering my GP with small things!

Go to sleep.

Try a gargle, with salt and warm water. Couple of paracetamol.

Thanks Smurf. Sqad- is that a 'it will fix itself overnight' remedy?! Or a 'stop yer moaning, woman!' reply? :D

Or a 'stop yer moaning, woman!' reply? :D

LOL, probably will feel better in the morning though, Scarlett.

They aren't mutually exclusive interpretations.

Any better now ?

Scarlett.

All of those plus NO BIG DEAL....-;)

Morning! It hurts just as much today- made it worse by eating... but as Sqad says, it's no big deal!
