Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I just got a sudden severe reaction when I swallowed some bread and honey. For a few minutes, each time I swallowed the symptoms recurred and got worse. After a few minutes I could swallow water with no trouble... I have been taking DGL Licorice for heartburn for 15 years, and it has worked well -- no troubles. I do occasionally choke/splutter when something goes down the wrong throat ... YYYY@YYYY
