there may be some pain even after removal:
1. Part of th bone is left
2. It has caused local trauma.
If you are sure that the whole bone has been removed, the pain or foreign body sensation may persist due to the injury caused by it.
Next Steps
Saline gargles
Tab. Brufen 400 mg SOS (avoid empty stomach and not more than 3/ day.
Health Tips
If the pain persists and is intolerable it is best to visit a doctor and get the throat examined to make sure there isn’t a bone left behind and causing further damage/infection. (Imaging may be required in this case)
