Food stuck in my throat
I can't eat or drink anything. I had this kind of problem before, I really have to chew my food in smallest pieces possible. But yesterday somehow it got stuck in my throat. I was eating dosa, so it isn't like any hard piece, it maybe dosa piece and potato. After trying really hard I could now drink a sip of water in 2 minutes. Mussels relaxor may help me relax food pipe. Earlier this happened a doctor gave me some mussels relaxor.
