Throat irritation
Hi- For the last few days I feel like I have a cut in my throat. It almost feels like something is there when I swallow. It is also difficult for me to eat or drink. It seems that when I drink juice it slightly burns/irritates my throat. The symptoms gradually get worse throught the day. In the morning, I almost wake up completely fine.
You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
