First you have to determine if it is a viral or bacterial infection. You can do this at the doctors office or there are home testing kits that you can get from medical supply.
If it is bacterial you probably need antibiotics. Some untreated bacterial infections can spread to the heart and become very serious.
If it is viral then there is no true cure. Only things that bring relief. Drink lots of hot liquids, eat a soft diet, rest a lot, and try not to strain your voice. Throat lozenges can help but some say that sucking on hard candy has the same effect. Some lozenges don't contain any medication anyways.
Something feels like it is stuck in my throat beneath my adams apple. When I eat it hurts terrible,
