Is Difficulty In Swallowing Due To Medication In An Elderly Person?
I have only had trouble swallowing several times in the past week or 10 days usually when I'm taking a pill. The first time I thought it was an allergic reaction to some medication I was taking, second time it was so bad I called the doctor & stopped taking the mediation but I have had it a few times since then. At first I thought the pill was caught in my throat. I would appreciate any help you can give me. (I'm 86 yr. old woman in good health. Thank You
