I'm dealing with some really bad throat pain and I'm not sure what to do. Can I use Ciprofloxacin 500 for it, or is levofloxacin a better option? I'm having a tough time with this pain and would appreciate any advice you could give me. Its pretty unbearable right now.

I accidentally swallowed a fish thorn and since then, it feels like something's stuck in my throat. Whenever I swallow, there's this little pain, and I'm not sure if the thorn is still there or if it caused a scratch. I've tried some home remedies, but it hasn't gotten better. Could you give me some advice on what I should do next?
