DIFFICULTY SWALLOWING

What May Be Causing It?
Swelling of tissues in the larynx due to allergies can make it difficult to swallow.

How Can I Get Some Relief?
It’s not a bad idea to take Benadryl, a strong, over-the-counter antihistamine, but don’t be Mr. Tough Guy with this symptom because it can get worse pretty quickly.

Do I Need to See a Doctor?
Yes, see an allergy specialist if you get throat swelling every time you’re in a certain environment or every time you eat a particular thing. The symptom may be mild or may go away, but it shouldn’t be ignored. This could be a serious allergy that could, at any time, become a medical emergency. See an allergy specialist to identify what’s triggering your symptoms and get medications to reverse the reaction
