Last night, I choked on dessert of meringue cups, so it was either the meringue cup or strawberries I choked on. Question is, what is the norm for afterwards? My throat has been really sore since. Is there anything I can do to help a speady recovery? I've been doing coffee and tea. I prefer natural ways if I can. Should I be concerned enough and actually go to the doctor? I do have a doctor appt on Monday so I am trying to hold off til then.

A throat lozenge will probably soothe your throat enough for it not to bother you while it heals. Halls makes an all natural one, or Sucrets are good, too, but sugary.

I don't know if it will help but I use warm salt water and gargle. It helps me with sore throats or irritated throat. Good luck!

Glad that you are okay!!

Are you still having trouble swallowing? Sometimes I'll choke on something, then for a day or two after, if I turn my head to swallow, its easier. Liquids are harder for me to handle during this time.

You probably scratched your throat so it is irritated now.  You've gotten great suggestions.  I use Sucrets because they numb the throat so it doesn't bother you while it has a chance to heal.

Sherrine recommended Sucrets earlier in the week for me - they work great, by the way, Sherrine. :)

I found this out earlier in the week, too, but sometimes you can actually strain the muscles (or tendons, or whatever is in there, lol) in your throat with coughing, vomiting, etc. Like other muscles strains, it just takes a bit of time to heal.

It took me a week to heal. I had the doctor look at it, and it was swollen and inflammed. its still minorally sore, but not as bad! Let us be a lesoon... strawberries can be dangerous if not chewed properly lol
