My father and I were play-wrestling when he put me in a chokehold and I blacked out. I recall my voice sounding strange right before everything went dark. Since then, my throat looks slightly red, almost like a bruise forming, and my voice sounds more hoarse. Swallowing is painful and my neck feels sore to the touch. I’m trying to figure out if this is just a minor bruise or if I need medical attention. I planned on using ice if it gets worse. I’m a healthy 20-year-old female, 5’1" and 110 lbs. EDIT: To clarify, this wasn’t abuse; I have two years of wrestling experience and this happens sometimes. He simply didn’t notice me tapping out. Also, my eyes are extremely bloodshot.

Is it better to use ice or a heating pad?
You really ought to visit the emergency room to ensure there’s no damage to your neck or windpipe.
Any news on how you’re doing, OP?
