Hello there.  I can understand your concern.  Ask him to drink plenty of fluids.  Have smaller meals and chew the food thoroughly before swallowing.  Syp. Mucaine gel 10ml can be taken. It should be gone. Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain. Bangalore.
