I was recently wrestling around with one of my roommates and he punched me in the throat at one point. The side of my throat has been hurting for over a week now. I'm starting to wonder if this is normal! How long does it take for a throat to heal???
There are lots of muscles, ligaments, cartilage, various tubes and bones in your throat area so it's not surprising that it hurts. It's definitely a dangerous area to be punched in. The soreness may go away on its own but you should probably see a doc, just to be on the safe side.
