tips for scratchy feeling in my throat

hi all, 

i searched the archives, but couldn't quit find anything relevant.

im on soft/purée food stage. Last night around 8pm I tried a small bite of beef (I know, I know). I chewed really well, but since about midnight, I've had a scratchy feeling in the back of my throat. Not painful, just crazy annoying. Like a piece of fruit skin or a hair is stuck. My pouch was not over full. It had been a couple hours since I'd had anything other water.

last night I read it might be reflux, so I took my ppi and a couple of tums. 

ive tried:

Hot broth

antacids

plenty of liquids

thoughts? Any tips would be awesome!

You might try papaya enzyme.  You can get it at GNC and probably most health food stores.  It was recommended at my nutrition class. I have used it once or twice and it seemed to help.  

I have had a very scratchy throat since surgery.  Talked to my surgeons nurse and she okayed Pine Bros throat drop that has glycerin in it.  Really helps me.  Takes a long time to dissolve.  Be forewarned it has 1 g sugar and 5 calories.  But worth it for me.  I just have to be careful not to go overboard as I am known for doing.

Well...that's how I felt about day 8 post op. My tongue was dry, and coated. It was thrush. Something I searched out on OH, and found it happens alot. My throat bothered me first, it was only by chance that I looked at my tongue

It's just got to heal up.

Your body is saying.."nope" to the beef.
