HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, more or less it is the physiological phenomenon still it is advisable to eat slowly with no talking, have less oily food, spicy food, if it is the infection then "Tab Metronidazole 400 mg" twice in day can be tried for five days hope this information helps.
