Warm feeling in throat... Posted: 07-20-08 11:42am
The last few days I've had a strange
condition. It may have started after I ate
some very hard food, that may have scraped
up my insides, if that's even possible.
For the first day I had a pain in the
middle of the chest, just above where the
ribs end, when swallowing. Especially hard
food, like nuts or sour things like orange
juice or lemonade. Milk would go down much
more easily.
This subsided after a day or so, but was
followed by a warm feeling in my throat.
The sensation is very similar to what you
would get after having eaten very strong
food. Maybe slightly lumpy too, but not
much. It's not at all like a soar throat
you would get from a cold. I'm really not
sure what it is, or if I should see a
doctor about it. It's only been a few
days, and beside the warm feeling in my
throat there are no other symptoms.
I'm a 33 year old male. I'm gay, so don't
rule out std's from oral sex, you usually
would find in women. I was also sick a
couple of weeks ago with a cold, and a
cough that lasted almost two weeks. The
second week I had no fever, but the cough
and soar throat took the whole week to get
better. Though this was over a week ago,
so I don't think it's related.
My current theory is that the hard piece
of food I ate (I think it was hard cheese
that had been overheated) and swallowed
without chewing too much is the reason for
this, but I'm not really sure. Any ideas?

If you had of 'cut' something whilst
swallowing food there would be symptoms,
if it were a bad cut there would be
significant pain and/ or passing of blood
that looked somewhat frothy. This however
would not result in a 'warm' feeling in
your throat. I would go get a STD
screening as the warm feeling could be
from preforming oral to someone with a
strain of herpes. So yes I think you
should go get a STD test and maybe get
checked for internal bleeding if you
believe you may have cut yourself, but
remember it takes a bit to cut yourself
internally ... think of how many people
have swallowed tongue bars with sharp
ends, and how many babies have swallowed
god knows what with sharp points. Its
probably nothing or a post flu symptom.
Take care.
