Can I Take Tylenol To Cure Painful Swallowing And Excessive Salivating?
Extremely painful to swallow x4 days. Saw my family doc, he said take a script of amoxi, but only take if the pain doesn t go away in the next few days. Extra strength tylenol 500mg x2 , 3 times a.days doesn t touch the pain. No other symptoms, no cough, no difficulty breathing, no fever. Some excessive salivating

Hello,
Consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an upper GI endoscopy. Conditions like lump or growth in the esophagus (food pipe has to be ruled out). An ECG also be done to rule out cardiac causes like angina even though it is unlikely.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
