How do I reduce the dull pain in my hamstring?

Hi doctor,

I am doing dance for a year and a half now. After dance class I used to do stretching. Since Monday, I am feeling a dull pain in my right hamstring and quad. It was uncomfortable for me to walk up and down the stairs. So, I applied ice and took Ibuprofen. Then throughout the day the pain was still there but not unbearable. Today when I woke up, the pain was much worse. It hurt so much to go up and down the stairs and it hurt more to walk. Today I had stretched even more. Should I go to the doctor to get it checked? Kindly suggest.

What causes difficulty swallowing and food regurgitation?

Hello doctor,

I seem to have something caught in my throat. When I try to swallow, my throat closes up and I vomit whatever I was trying to eat or drink. If I sit for a time, the excess saliva in my mouth will not even go down.
