A member asked:
Why does my throat feel so tight and uncomfortable to the point where it's affecting my breathing and swallowing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go to the ER: Your symptoms could be from something as simple as strep throat or as serious as an abscess that needs to be drained. Any time you feel your breathing is affected you need to seek medical attention immediately. Please go to an Emergency Department for evaluation.
