Hello sir,
Good morning,
I read your history in which you mentioned that you had difficulty in swellowing perticularly irritation during solid n liquid ingestion...perticularly after taking so called calcium tablet...but you didn't mentioned tablet properly...
Generally calcium tablet don't cause any of this type of side effect but due to any circumstances you may get injury minor injury to throat part inside n so that you had inflammation there so that you had this type of feeling...
For that you don't do more...generally it cures itself...if you had much problem than I suggest gargle with hot n salty water or betadine gargle...
It helps in reduce inflammation rapidly n you may get relief...
Thank you,
Regars,
Dr.Ravi Kotecha
