Accepted Answer

Sore throat: Are these symptoms only a day or two old or have they been present for days? If they are new, a viral throat infection would be likely. If they are chronic, tension and stress would be suspected. A viral throat infection may be followed by a head cold but clears on its own. Stress management would be helpful for chronic throat tightness. Discuss this with your physician.

Need To Be Seen: Difficulty in swallowing and the sensation of your throat closing is something that should be immediately evaluated by a healthcare provider.  As your tonsils have been removed, there are other possible causes, including dental problems that can cause difficulty in swallowing.

Accepted Answer

It : It sounds like you have a viral infection which caused laryngitis(loss of voice because virus affected your voice box). Then it has moved into bronchitis, which is causing coughing attacks. Feeling of throat closing up and coughing fits could be from bronchospasm, which is due to narrowing and swelling of air ways. 
I recommend that you should see your physician for treatment. Bronchospasm is treated with albuterol. This medication helps relieve the spasm in the airways, helps the cough too. While this is being treated and it taking time to improve, cough can be suppressed with cough medication too in the mean time.  If symptoms are treated, that will give the body chance to rest and divert that energy to fight the infection too.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

It can: You need to see your doctor or a psychatrist to confirm the diagnosis of panic attack and get it treated with appropriately meds and therapy
oanic attacks can give you symptoms of chest pain, palpitation, throat closing as well.
