Why Do I Swallow Food After A Tooth Extraction?
Hi, I had two teeth pulled last week. Since then everytime I try to eat solid foods, I go to swallow and its almost like I cant physically swallow what Im eating. It gets stuck and blocks my airway and obviously it causes me to panic. Do you think it could be related to my tooth extraction or should I go see my PCP?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
No it does not looks to be associated with extraction of socket. You should consult a good ENT specialist for it.
Or it can also be possible that your medications which you might have taken for the infection are creating problem, as the pain killers cause, severe acidity.
Then if you are on medication you should discontinue it.
Hope it will help you.
