Why Am I Having Difficulty Eating Beef Or Dry Food?

I have difficulty eating beef or dry food since I almost choke 2 months ago. i felt my tongue was swollen on the back and i had difficulty even passing saliva. So I stopped eating solids for 2 weeks then my dr told me i had an infection. the infection is gone I can eat properly again, however, everytime I eat beef or dry food my tongue gets swollen and is like i feel so tired i can barely pass it down. i checked myself for thyroids already.

Hi dear ,
it seems you may have allergy to some foods ,get your allergy test done and avoid food to which your body is sensitive.thyroids don't become swollen with foods so be relaxed it is not thyroid problem.till then avoid beef.
