How To Treat Discomfort In Throat And Dryness In Mouth After Taking HCG Shots?
I have been taking HCG shots for 11 days now to lose weight. My throat often feels thick by the end of the day and my mouth is extremely dry. I am concerned that I might be having a reaction of some sort but not sure if this is normal. The clinic does not seem worried, but I am concerned.

Hello and welcome.
Yes, it is one of the less common side effects and is nothing serious to worry about. You can continue to drink plenty of water whenever you feel thirsty or your mouth feels dry.
But please also be warned, hCG shots can even cause sudden weight gain so keep an eye on your weight.
Best wishes.
